In order to escape Aunt Agatha's plans for him to marry Honoria Glossop, Bertie sets sail for America. Much to his surprise, he bumps into Tuppy Glossop on board; Tuppy has plans to import luxury automobiles. Bertie also bumps into Lady Malvern, a friend of his Aunt Agatha's, who leaves him in charge of her son, Wilmot, who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and just generally doesn't have fun at all.
Once in New York, Bertie runs into another old pal, Rocky Todd; he also discovers that Tuppy's automobile supplier is Mr. Stoker, so tries to stay out of the sight. Problems arise when Tuppy falls in love with Pauline Stoker; Wilmot also seizes his opportunity to create a disrespectable past. Bertie escapes Wilmot's debauchery, leaving Jeeves to deal with that problem; he goes to the countryside to stay with Rocky, but becomes embroiled in Tuppy's import/export difficulties. Once again, it's Jeeves to the rescue, as he manages to solve both problems admirably.

Jeeves: His manservant, his gentleman's personal gentleman. His valet.
Liftman: What kinda dough you get for a job like that?

Liftman: (to himself) Remuneration? Divulge? Mmm-mmm!
| Tuppy: I say, Bertie, what a wonderful girl she is!
Bertie: Who is?
Tuppy: Pauline Stoker, of course. She is just the sort of girl I ought to marry, you know.
Bertie: Tuppy, she's engaged to Chuffy Chuffnell.
Tuppy: Yes, she mentioned something about that. I don't think it's... oof... no, no, I don't think it's serious.
Bertie: My dear old Tuppy! One can not just ignore the fact that a girl is engaged to be married to a chum, and what's more, a fellow Drone.
Tuppy: Ha! Can't one just!
Bertie: And while we're at it, you're engaged to my cousin Angela.
Tuppy: I am disappointed in you, Wooster. A gentleman would not have mentioned that.
