Jeeves and Wooster — Season 3

Mar 1992

In order to escape the wrath of Honoria Glossop and Aunt Agatha, Jeeves and Bertie board an oceanliner heading for New York. Unfortunately, Bertie is landed with the task of looking after Wilmot Malvern, a lad long cooped up with his mother Lady Malvern. He turns out to be a limpet of the worst sort with the knack for clinging to Woosters. On the ship Bertie also runs into Tuppy, who's off to America to become an importer of cars to Britain. Once in New York, the mother's boy breaks loose onto the nightclub scene with disasterous results, and Tuppy meets with similar lack of success when he realises he'll have to buy more than one car at a time and that the steering wheel's on the wrong side.

Apr 1992

The aunt of Bertie's poet friend, Rocky, wants him to go out and live the New York nightlife and write her weekly letters so that she might experience it vicariously. Rocky, however, can't stand anything but his cabin in the wilderness of Long Island, so Jeeves agrees to undergo the rigours and report back to Rocky. Another friend, Bicky, loves New York, but his uncle thinks he should be in Colorado. Jeeves suggests a bit of deception on his part as well, which works fine until relatives of both friends show up in New York, both believing that Bertie's flat belongs to their respective nephews. Solutions involve a lot of running about acting silly and quite a bit of handshaking as well.
