Bertie Wooster downs a quick cocktail and the effect is magical; he feels he can take on anyone. Unfortunately Stilton Cheesewright is threatening to tear him apart and Dutch courage might not be enough as the crisis dawns! When Bertie Wooster goes to stay with his Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court and finds himself engaged to the imperious Lady Florence Craye, disaster threatens from all sides. While Florence tries to cultivate his mind, her former fiance, hefty policeman Stilton Cheesewright, threatens to beat his body to a pulp, and her new admirer, the bleating poet Percy Gorringe, tries to borrow a thousand pounds. To cap it all, Bertie has incurred the disapproval of Jeeves by growing a moustache, thus alienating the only man who can save him from his trip to the altar.
