A comical romp of an adventure involving Jeeves, Wooster and 'Bicky', whose uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, has the potential to be a wealthy benefactor to his nephew. Unfortunately, the Duke is what's known in the right circles as a 'hard-boiled egg' - ie 'notoriously the most prudent spender in England'. When Bicky contacts Bertie, our jaunt begins, and hilarity and laughs, courtesy of P. G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis, are bound to follow.
