Bertie is in New York. Having displeased his formidable aunt Agatha, he has left England to give her time to cool off, and hopefully figure out some way of working himself into her good graces.
While in New York, he has several escapades involving his friends and acquaintances. Corky wants to be an artist and marry his beau, but needs to convince his uncle. But the uncle marries the beau instead, and Corky now has to paint a portrait of the uncle’s baby now. Motty, a connection of aunt Agatha has finally managed to come to a big city, and is running amok.
Bicky has to impress an uncle, and Freddie accidentally kidnaps a child to impress his beau. Rocky loves to live alone in the country, but his aunt wants him to live it up in the city, and pays him to do it.
So many friends, so many problems. Jeeves is at hand to fix everyone’s issues, though it often does not go well to start off, he always finds a solution that will resolve it to everyone’s satisfaction, though sometimes leaving Bertie a little worse for wear.
Outstanding turn of phrase as always, and thoroughly enjoyable.
