A typically shambolic and hilarious romp from the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, who find themselves embroiled in college initiation rites in this story of students, aunts and three rather irate cats. Throw into the heady mix of comedic fancy a luncheon appointment with Sir Roderick, and the scene is set for a farcical showdown of epic proportions....
