Synopsis

In P. G. Wodehouse's uproarious 'Right Ho, Jeeves,' the perpetually well-meaning but catastrophically inept Bertie Wooster finds himself entangled in a series of romantic predicaments of his own devising. When his shy, newt-fancying friend Gussie Fink-Nottle falls head over heels for the sentimental Madeleine Bassett but can't articulate his feelings, Bertie takes it upon himself to play matchmaker. His elaborate, ill-conceived plans, which involve manipulating telegrams, delivering passionate speeches, and generally making a hash of things, only serve to deepen the chaos. Bertie's meddling inadvertently jeopardizes not only Gussie and Madeleine's budding romance but also the engagements of his cousin Angela and Tuppy Glossop, and even his beloved Aunt Dahlia's financial ventures. As the situation spirals into classic Wodehousian farce, it is, as always, the unflappable and supremely intelligent valet Jeeves who subtly pulls the strings, orchestrating a brilliant, complex resolution to Bertie's self-inflicted crises, restoring order and ensuring a happy, if bewildered, ending for all involved.
