Uncle George has become engaged to a young waitress and Aunt Agatha wants Bertie to offer her £100 to end the scandalous engagement, but Jeeves has other plans. Then it's off to Twing Hall where Lady Wickhammersley has banned gambling due to an unfortunate incident in which Lord Wickhammersley lost the East Wing with a bad hand.

00:09:50 but she's never so much as asked him in for a cup of tea.
00:11:41 Should he meet her, this might give his lordship pause.
00:13:42 Oh. Nice place you've got here.

00:46:21 Well, you'll bally well pardon me for saying so, Jeeves,
00:48:14 We do our best.
