Romantic entanglements are complicated by a unique silver cow creamer that is desired by both Bertie's Uncle Thomas and his rival, Judge Sir Watkyn Bassett. Sir Watkyn purchases the creamer by telling the shopkeeper, falsely, that Thomas had sent him. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia and friend "Stiffy" Byng both want him to steal the creamer for different reasons, but Judge Sir Watkyn has already sentenced him once (for stealing a bobby's helmet) and he doesn't want to go to jail.

Jeeves does not approve of Bertie's new betrothed, bossy Lady Florence Craye - author of 'Strength Through Willpower', particularly when, during a weekend party at Totleigh Court, she orders Bertie to steal and destroy Sir Watkyn Bassett's memoirs,whose publication could cause large scale embarrassment. Wooster steals the manuscript and gives it to Jeeves, who, as always, knows best. Suffice to say, the engagement is soon over. Jeeves is more sympathetic to Gussie Fink-Nottle, when Stiffy Byng, by whom he is captivated, persuades him to retrieve her dog,who has bitten and been confiscated by P.C. Oates during rehearsals for the annual village variety show.

Gussie writes down quirks of Sir Watkyn and Spode in a little notebook to give him confidence, but he loses the notebook. Stephanie finds it but declines to give it back until Jeeves convinces Sir Watkyn to allow her to marry Harold. When Jeeves' efforts backfire, Stephanie gives the notebook to Spode herself. Harold steals a policeman's helmet for Stephanie, who hides it in Bertie's room and then tells the constable and her father that Bertie stole it.

Overjoyed that Madeleine Bassett is to marry Spode and stop pursuing him Bertie goes to Totleigh Towers for the wedding, meeting another Drone, drippy Ginger Winship, whose bullying fiancee ,Lady Florence Craye, is forcing him to stand for Parliament, or she will leave him. Sneaky ex-valet Brinkley has stolen the book from Jeeves' club in which manservants dish the dirt on their employers and hopes to make money by selling it to Ginger's Labour party rival but Bertie steals it, unaware that Ginger wants to be discredited so he will lose the election and Florence and can marry his secretary Magnolia whom he really loves. An outraged Florence declares that she is re-engaged to Bertie and Madeleine argues with Spode, also announcing her intention to wed Wooster. Fortunately the book contains information on Spode, which Bertie uses to make him marry Madeleine, whilst Florence takes a shine to Brinkley. Unfortunately the Totleigh Towers plumbing, which is plainly on its last legs and not helped by being serviced by Tuppy Glossop's new drain-cleaning machine, decides to erupt in the middle of the wedding, spraying the congregation with effluent. Jeeves and Wooster make a very swift exit.

The latest house party at Totleigh Towers sees 'Stiffy' Bing trying to strong-arm Bertie into stealing an African tribal statue which, she believes, has put a curse on the Bassetts. Bertie's midnight exploits bring him into contact with Gussie Fink-Nottle who, rebelling against his betrothed Madeleine Bassett's efforts to turn him into a vegetarian, is enjoying meaty midnight feasts with Emerald, the comely American cook. Bertie steals the statue but when Major Plank, from whom it was bought, refuses to have it back, he ends up blacking up and impersonating an African tribal chief anxious to restore the statue to his tribe, Unfortunately real Africans arrive and once more it's Jeeves to the rescue.
