Overview
Aunt Agatha wants Bertie to marry Honoria Glossop so that she will mold his character and infuse much needed strong blood in the Wooster line. But old chum Bingo Little is in love with her, so Bertie hatches a scheme to set things straight. Luckily, Jeeves has arrived to save Bertie from his own schemes (and hangovers).

00:12:27 - Yes. All right then. - Yes, sir.
00:14:56 - It's all right. - Like fishing, do you?

00:49:22 Good night, sir.
