In a New York Bookshop where he is buying Jeeves a birthday present Bertie meets forceful old flame Lady Florence Craye who has rowed with fiance 'Stilton' Cheesewright and decides she wants to get engaged to Bertie again. 'Stilton' decides he wants to do Bertie a mischief. Florence's father Lord Worplesdon, Aunt Agatha's second husband, is in New York to sell his boats to businessman J. Chichester Clam but the deal is meant to be secret and the press keep pursuing Clam - even on the hotel fire escape. His Lordship's niece Nobby will benefit by the deal as it will gain her the money needed for her beau George Caffyn to put on his play. Jeeves decides that to preserve anonymity everyone should meet in disguise at a penthouse fancy dress party, leading to confusion in high places. —don @ minifie-1

Trivia
Wooster is seen reading the New York Times, Jeeves the New York Herald Tribune (which became the International Herald Tribune in 1967 - 2013.) In both cases the front page is a mock-up, mixing fictional headlines related to the plot, (eg. The "Electrical Storm") with real ones ( eg. "Queen sends for MacDonald").

The decline was swift and rapid

I guess it was only a matter of time before the writers, having run out of P G Wodehouse originals, got it into their heads that could create their own stories and maintain the level to which we were accustomed. How wrong they were! This episode is truly awful. The fact that Fry and Laurie actually went through with it is even more surprising. The first 3 series were wonderful, no doubt about it. Stick to those and you'll be fine. Forget the 4th season was even made, erase it from your mind....if only it could erased from existence....
