Volume One
Bertie Sets Sail
faced with the horrifying prospect of marriage to the unspeakable Honoria Glossop, Bertie - with Jeeves at his side - sets sail for New York. But the Wooster troubles are not left behind, for danger lurks among his fellow passengers. His old friend Tuppy is on board, unwittingly sailing toward financial ruin, and the appearance of Lady Malvern and her wayward son Motty gives cause for alarm.
The Full House
In order to keep his writer friend Bicky Bickerstaff living in Manhattan, and his poet friend Rocky Todd anywhere but, Bertie becomes embroiled in a complex case of deception and mistaken identity. Bicky's father thinks Bertie's apartment is his son's, and Rocky's aunt thinks it is her nephew's. With both visiting at the same time, Bertie must maintain the façade for both of his friends - with Jeeves' help, of course.
Introduction on Broadway
The Lady Bassington-Bassington - a dear friend of Bertie's indomitable Aunt Agatha - is adamant that her son Cyril shall not pursue a career on the stage. Instead, she sends him to New York to seek his fortune. Although Bertie is given strict instructions not to let him near a theatre, young Cyril promptly lands a role in a musical! If only Aunt Agatha were not planning a trip to Manhattan to take in the latest Broadway offerings…
Volume Two
Right Ho, Jeeves
Back in London, Gussie Fink-Nottle is arrested while searching for newts in Trafalgar Square. Bertie is obliged to assume Gussie's identity and travel to Deverill Hall to preserve Gussie's engagement. But Aunt Agatha has other plans for Bertie at Deverill which require him to be present as himself! It will tax even Jeeves' formidable intellect to solve this muddle.
Hot off the Press
Sir Watkyn Bassett's plan to publish his memoirs is met with less than unanimous approval. His daughter doesn't want them published; Roderick Spode doesn't want them published; and Bertie's latest fiance will break off their engagement if Bertie doesn't steal them. Meanwhile, the eternally fragile romantic entanglements of Bertie's crowd threaten to push him back into the arms of Madeline Bassett, a terrifying fate which only Jeeves can avert.
Comrade Bingo
Bertie's peace is shattered when his apartment is invaded by communist revolutionaries, and his Aunt Dahlia demands that he become a gentleman burglar and steal a painting. As if that weren't enough, he has an unfortunate accident with a tin of treacle, and "Ocean Breeze" fails to win the 2:45 race at Goodwood. Faced with all this, lesser men might falter - but lesser men don't have Jeeves to rescue them!
