Hang on to your hat - here starteth the intricate hilarities that only Wodehouse could produce: Monty Bodkin thinks he is leaving a heartbroken secretary, and employer, movie studio magnate Ivor Llewelly behind him, so that he can go back to the substantial and english clasp of Gertrude Butterwick except that - he has to prove his fulfilled Gertrude's rich Dad's demands - that heartbroken secretary heads for England along with all the Llewellyns - a private detective cum crook is posing as butler - along with con couple Soapy and Dolloy Molloy, who are guests at the Butterwick mansion - and then there is that fabulous string of pearls.

Great fun, demands brain agility, a can't-put-it-down comedy. Don't read it in public or people will think your nuts.
