Nothing but trouble can ensue when Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia instructs him to steal a silver jug from Totleigh Towers,home of magistrate and hell-hound,Sir Watkin Bassett. First he must face the peril of Sir Watkin's droopy daughter,Madeleine,and then the terrors of would-be Dictator,Roderick Spode and his gang of Black Shorts. But when duty calls,Bertram answers,and so there follows what he himself calls the'sinister affair of Gussie Fink-Nottle,Madeleine Bassett,old Pop Bassett,Stiffy Byng,the Rev. H. P. ('Stinker') Pinker,the eighteenth-century cow-creamer and the small,brown,leather-covered notebook'.
In a plot with more twists than an English country lane,it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves to extract his master from the soup again.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'You should read Wodehouse when you're well,and when you're poorly; when you're travelling,and when you re not; when you re feeling clever,and when you're feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits,no matter how high they happen to be already.'- Lynne Truss
'Wodehouse s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.'- Evelyn Waugh
