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 Watkyn Bassett. First he must face the peril of Sir Watkyn's droopy daughter, Madeline, 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, Madeline 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. - Jacket.
Reviews with the most likes.
Wonderful, as always! If you've seen the BBC series, then the plot will be familiar (I forget which episodes, but I think they did a two-parter following the novel). On Goodreads they make it clear that it's #7 but a lot of the editions out in the world don't necessarily say that; still, Bertie (the narrator) does his best to catch you up with everything that came before if you haven't read the other books & stories.
