Prudence's family don't want Bill as a son-in-law and pack her off to Blandings, but Bill is made of good stuff and follows her. Veronica's parents would love to have Tipton marry her but he is being followed by a 'face' and can't find the courage to propose. When Lord Emsworth adds his customary confusion and a pig is badly painted, it takes the combined efforts of Galahad and Freddie Threepwood to bring about a happy ending.
