Bingo Little is in love again, this time with a waitress in New York. He once again seeks help from Bertie, wanting him to pose as the author Rosie M. Banks, and talk to Bingo's uncle, Lord Bittlesham, who is also in New York, undergoing a weight-loss regimen at Sir Roderick Glossop's clinic.
Honoria Glossop is also in town, visiting her father, and wants to spend time with Bertie. Bertie decides to solve everyone's romantic problems without the help of Jeeves. His plans backfire, and a concatenation of circumstances puts everyone on the same ship back to England; not even Jeeves can come up with a solution to all the problems.

Episode Quotes |

(Jeeves is holding up a straw boater hat)
Jeeves: You'll pardon me mentioning it, Sir, but I discovered this article on our hatrack. I can only assume a tradesman left it.
Bertie: Oh, Jeeves, we're not going to have a difference of opinion about that hat, are we?
Jeeves: I'm not yet in a position to say, Sir.
| Sir Roderick: The Glossop Method is based on the patient being given an excess of whatever it is he most desires, as it may be: alcohol, or the companionship of the opposite sex. Or, in Lord Bittlesham's case, food. The patient will eventually revolt at the sheer immoderation of it and voluntarily deny himself.
Bertie: Is it successful?
Sir Roderick: Theoretically impeccable, Bertie, and extremely popular.
Bertie: Yes, yes, I should think it would be.
| Bertie: And he [Sir Roderick] wants to marry Mrs. Snap?
Jeeves: Precisely so, Sir, but Mrs. Snap refuses to consider such a venture while Sir Roderick's daughter remains unmarried. In a colourful turn of phrase, she stated that certain specific, and scarcely to be anticipated, meteorological conditions would have to take place in the infernal regions before she would share a home with Miss Honoria.
Bertie: Well, Amen to that!
| Bertie: Bingo!
Bingo: What?
Bertie: No, I mean 'bingo!' Inspiration has struck!
| (Bertie is explaining a problem to Jeeves)
Bertie: Owing to a... um... oh, what's that 'something of circumstances' you hear people talking about? Cats come into it, if I remember rightly.
Jeeves: Would 'concatenation' be the word for which you are groping, Sir?
Bertie: That's it! Owing to a concatenation of circumstances, "B" has got it into her nut that "A" is in love with her, but he isn't. Now then, until recently, "B" was engaged to.... (tries to come up with an anonymous name)
Jeeves: Should we call him "C", Sir?
Bertie: Yes, well, "Caesar" is as good a name as any, I suppose...

Bingo: Do you remember that frightfully subtle scheme I worked out, telling him you were what's her name who wrote those books?
Bertie: I thought that was my idea, wasn't it, Jeeves?
Jeeves: Perhaps so, Sir.
Bertie: What do you mean, 'Perhaps so'?
Jeeves: Well, perhaps I misremember the occasion, Sir, but I have always believed that I was, to some degree, responsible.
The scheme to which Bingo is referring is one in which he read, at the suggestion of Jeeves, the novels of Rosie M. Banks to his uncle (Lord Bittlesham) in order to soften him up to the idea of Bingo marrying "below his station" in the series 2 episode Jeeves The Matchmaker. The idea to have Bertie pose as Rosie M. Banks, was, however, Bingo's.
| Honoria: Bertie and I were engaged once, weren't we, Bertie?
Honoria Glossop and Bertie were briefly engaged in the series 1 episode Jeeves' Arrival.
| Bertie: ...I would also be doing my old chum, Roderick Glossop, a good turn.
Bertie's relationship with Sir Roderick Glossop was antagonistic until the series 2 episode Kidnapped!, where Bertie and Sir Roderick both had to run from the police together, after having done nothing wrong. This changed Sir Roderick's opinion of Bertie and the two became friends.
