[edit] Plot
Bertie finds himself at the Aunt-ridden Deverill Hall, Hampshire, seat of the imposing Dame Daphne Winkworth, where Gussie Fink-Nottle's on-off engagement to Madeline Bassett is once again in danger of hitting the rocks, leaving Bertie at risk of becoming reattached to the drippy female. He must also defend his pal Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright's girl Gertrude Winkworth, daughter of Dame Daphne, from the attentions of the attractive Esmond Haddock, while avoiding fulfilling his Aunt Agatha's wish that he marry her himself...
All of Jeeves' considerable powers are required to bring things to a satisfactory conclusion.
