Episode 2

Bertie must avoid entrapment by his ex. Can he secure Lord Worplesdon鈥檚 consent to young Zenny marrying would-be Hollywood writer Boko Fittleworth? Jeeves says he鈥檚 baffled.

With some adroit string-pulling, including Wooster attending a fancy dress ball, might Jeeves resolve each problem? Can he also extricate the young master from the bizarre horrors of Steeple Bumpleigh 鈥 and finally bring 鈥榡oy in the morning鈥?

The comic genius of P.G. Wodehouse.

鈥淲eeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.鈥 (Psalms 30:5.) Bertie Wooster certainly hopes so
