A comical romp of an adventure involving Jeeves, Wooster and 'Bicky', whose uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, has the potential to be a wealthy benefactor to his nephew. Unfortunately, the Duke is what's known in the right circles as a 'hard-boiled egg' - ie 'notoriously the most prudent spender in England'. When Bicky contacts Bertie, our jaunt begins, and hilarity and laughs, courtesy of P. G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis, are bound to follow.

Hapless and often hopeless romantic Bingo Little has fallen for yet another young lady in this Jeeves and Wooster story of terrible cravats, far-from-fine dining and love's perhaps-not-so-young dream.
