When Bertie fears that the union of Gussie Fink-Nottle and Madeline Bassett is heading for the rocks, he sets out to heal the rift, even at the cost of a stay at Totleigh Towers with its resident blots on the landscape, Sir Watkyn Bassett and Lord Sidcup.
With 'Stiffy' Byng feeling sorry for a local man, 'Stinker' Pinker hoping to get a vicarage, Gussie forbidden meat and the dog Bartholomew on the prowl, is it surprising that Bertie becomes a thief?
