Summary of the Book

Bertie Wooster has many problems. For one thing, he is wealthy and doesn’t have much to do. For another, people like his Aunt Dahlia keep finding him things to do. This time, she demands that he help her fool an antique dealer, whose 18th-century cow-creamer she has her eyes set on. Bertie objects, but Aunt Dahlia blackmails him, threatening to cancel his standing invitation to lunch at her house. Bertie gives in, for he can never resist her cook Anatole’s delicacies. To add to Bertie’s problems his friend Gussie Fink-Nottle comes to him with an important problem. He is about to marry Madeline Bassett, but he has a second love that he can’t leave behind: his desire to study the effects of a full moon on the mating habits of newts. And the eccentric Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, also has his eyes on the cow-creamer. Bertie’s in danger of being arrested, lynched, and engaged by accident, but he doesn’t need to worry too much. The loyal Jeeves is always around to help.
