Wodehouse’s 1934 novel, part of the beloved Jeeves and Wooster series. This particular dramatization aired in 1975 as part of the *What Ho, Jeeves!* collection, starring Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Bertie Wooster. - Bertie Wooster, ever the enthusiast of questionable hobbies, drives Jeeves to resign over his relentless banjolele playing. - Seeking solace, Bertie retreats to the countryside, only to find himself entangled in romantic chaos involving his old flame Pauline Stoker, her formidable father, and his friend Lord Chuffnell (Chuffy), who’s smitten with Pauline. - Jeeves, though officially retired, remains quietly involved, orchestrating solutions from the sidelines with his signature finesse. - The story spirals into classic Wodehousian farce: mistaken identities, yacht-related mischief, and Bertie’s ill-advised attempts at disguise—including a controversial moment involving blackface, reflective of the book’s 1930s context. - Ultimately, Jeeves returns to save the day, restoring order and dignity (mostly) to Bertie’s life. It’s a delightful romp of upper-class absurdity, clever wordplay, and Jeeves’ unflappable brilliance.
