Pauline Stoker convinces Bertie to accompany her to Chuffnell Hall to help her in convincing an esteemed medical man to start a sanatorium there. Bertie is surprised to discover that the doctor in question is Sir Roderick Glossop, who bonds with Mr. Stoker over their shared dislike of Bertie as an inappropriate fiance for their daughters. Mr. Stoker is convinced that Bertie is still in love with Pauline, an idea that is only confirmed when he discovers that Bertie and Pauline spent the night together in a hotel; Chuffy, however, seems unconcerned about this, knowing that it was all due to car trouble, and that Bertie spent the night in the car. J. Washburn Stoker kidnaps Bertie in order to force him to make an honest woman of Pauline.
Bertie, who has been vying to become the Chairman of the Dining Committee at the Drones, comes up against an unexpected snag in the rule book. The Drones are putting on a Minstrel show, which Bertie suddenly joins while trying to escape the clutches of Mr. Stoker; due to misunderstandings with Chuffy and the local constabulary, both Mr. Stoker and Sir Roderick are also trying to elude the police. Everyone, Minstrels and all, end up in court before the local magistrate, which fortuitously puts Bertie back in the running for the Dining Committee.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Jeeves: Good afternoon, Miss Stoker.
Pauline: Hiya, Jeeves.
Jeeves: I trust Mr. Stoker is well?
Pauline: When they invented the phrase 'rude health,' Jeeves, they didn't know it would get as rude as my father!
| Lady Glossop: The Stokers are not here yet, Roderick.
Sir Roderick: My dear Deliah, I manage to snatch five minutes continuing work on my memoirs, and you interrupt me to inform me of an event which has not happened!
| Sir Roderick: Wooster!
Bertie: What ho, what ho! The old bad penny, you see.
Sir Roderick: What are you doing here?
Pauline: This is jolly! You all being old friends and everything!
(Bertie and Lady Glossop laugh, Sir Roderick glares)
| (explaining why the Drones have been playing banjo on the beach)
Barmy: ...and we thought we'd give the holiday-makers a bit of a treat.
Bertie: You're taking money for making that racket?
Barmy: Absolutely. And we've got a job playing on that yacht at a kid's birthday party tonight.
Bertie: With old man Stoker?
Barmy: Oh, do you know him? He's paying us five quid; my mother's going to be absolutely thrilled... she's always saying I should work for a living.
| Bertie: Now look here, I know this is trespassing on your time, but could you tell me what on earth this is all about?
Mr. Stoker: You don't know?
Bertie: Hanged if I do.
Mr. Stoker: And you can't guess?
Bertie: Hanged if I can.
Mr. Stoker: Wooster, you spent the night at a hotel with my daughter!
Bertie: No, no, no, no! Well... that is to say... yes, but...
| Sir Roderick: Mr. Wooster, we have had our differences in the past...
Bertie: No, no, no... I feel a distinct warming toward you, Sir Roderick, now I learn that you've managed to give little Seabury one or two on the spot indicated.
Sir Roderick: Only one, I regret to say, but it was a good one!
