Aunt Dahlia needs money for her magazine and is trying to sell it to the Trotters; she's already pawned her pearl necklace to purchase a serial to help raise the Trotters' interest. At Brinkley Court, Bertie is faced with trying to help his aunt while also trying to avoid the amorous advances of Lady Florence Craye and the jealous temper of Stilton Cheesewright. Aunt Dahlia needs a small favour from Bertie: she wants him to "steal" her pearls so that the jewelry appraiser won't discover that they're fake. While doing this, Bertie accidentally ends up in Lady Florence's bedroom, further angering Stilton.
Hoping to use the appeal of the story by a hot American novelist to peak the Trotters' interest, Dahlia is dismayed to learn that Miss Moorehead's arrival at Brinkley Court will be delayed. She now wants Bertie to impersonate the novelist; however, it's Jeeves who ends up in make-up and a dress, and finds himself the object of Stilton's affections. The jewelry appraiser arrives early, throwing Dahlia's plans awry, but she sees a solution: have Bertie steal Mrs. Trotters' pearls to substitute during the appraisal; unfortunately, her nephew has also pawned those to pay for his stage production of Lady Florence's play. All seems to be lost until Jeeves comes up with a solution that not only solves Dahlia's problem, but also gets rid of Bertie's pesky mustache.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Jeeves: As long as Lady Florence is unattached, there is always the danger of her turning her attentions towards you again, Sir. She becomes what is known in nautical circles as a loose cannon.
| Florence: Bertie, all this nonsense you're talking, trying to reconcile me with Darcy! I think it's rather wonderful of you. You want to marry me yourself, don't you?
Bertie: Oh, rather. Of course. I mean to say... who wouldn't? Good Lord.
| Florence: Won't they arrest us?
Bertie: No, no... no danger of that whatsoever.
Florence: How do you know?
Bertie: All of this is old stuff to me. We give our names and addresses, exercising a certain latitude with regard to details. I, for example, generally call myself 'Efram Gadsby' of the Mistusions, Jubilee Road, Stratham Common. Don't know why; just a whim. These formalities concluded, we shall be free to depart, leaving only the proprietor to face the awful majesty of the law.
Florence: I'm sure that's not what happens.
Bertie: It is... unless they've changed the rules.
Florence: You have to appear in court!
Bertie: No, no, no!
| Bertie: Did you know that Magistrates are really professional comedians, Jeeves?
Jeeves: No, Sir, that fact had not been brung to my attention.
Bertie: One gag after another, the whole court roaring with laughter, and all at my expense!
Jeeves: A most galling experience, Sir.
| Bertie: I can't possibly come down to Brinkley, aged Aunt; if I am seen within a twenty-mile radius of Florence Craye, I get my spine broken.
Aunt Dahlia: Oh, you're so selfish, Bertie! You don't know how important this is to me!
Bertie: Well, you don't know how important my spine is to me; I'm very attached to it.
| Bertie: There... I rest my case. If that doesn't leave me without a stain on my character, well then... I don't know what it does leave me without a stain on.
| Florence: Your Aunt Agatha is quite wrong.
Bertie: (confused) Aunt Agatha? What's Aunt Agatha got to do with it?
Florence: She keeps insisting that you're a vapid and irreflective nitwit who ought to be put into some good mental home.
Bertie: Well, of all the nerve!
| Jeeves: Pardon me, Mrs. Travers...
Aunt Dahlia: No, Jeeves, this is beyond even your powers.
Jeeves: Perhaps so, Madam, but if you could find someone willing to impersonate Miss Moorehead...
Aunt Dahlia: Oh, tosh, Jeeves! Who could possibly... (she and Jeeves both look at Bertie)
Bertie: No. No, no, no, no, no, no... seriously and definitely, no. I am prepared to do many things for you, Aunt Dahlia, but putting on earrings and a frock and pretending to be an American lady novelist is not among them. Besides, I have a mustache.
Aunt Dahlia: With lady novelists, that's a positive asset! Bertie, you've got to!
| (Jeeves is in a dress and make-up, pretending to be Daphne Moorehead)
Stilton: You're a dashed handsome woman, Daphne, do you know that?
Jeeves: Now, you really shouldn't say such things, Mr. Cheesewright! Tell me more about this Mr. Trotter; he sounds absolutely fascinating.
Stilton: Oh, I can think of a lot of other things I'd rather tell you.
Jeeves: Well, now... I've warned you, Mr. Cheesewright... you mustn't be naughty!
Stilton: Aren't you a little naughty sometimes?
Jeeves: I'm not that kind of a girl.
Stilton: What sort of a girl are you then, Daphne?
Jeeves: Well, I think you might be just awfully surprised, Mr. Cheesewright. (jumps and screams) Ooh! Please don't do that, Mr. Cheesewright!
| Jeeves: I regret to say, Madam, that one of your maids has confessed.
Police Officer: Confessed?
Jeeves: It's little Beryl, Madam.
(Bertie enters, wearing a wig and maid's uniform)
Aunt Dahlia: Beryl! How could you?
Bertie: I was tempted, Mum... I only done it 'cause we was so poor, Mum.
Aunt Dahlia: (grabs pearls from "Beryl") I only took her on this morning out of kindness, really. She's not very bright.
| Jeeves: It appears that Mrs. Trotter is socially ambitious; she yearns to be the toast of her native Liverpool. But she feels that she can only realise her ambition if she is addressed as LadyTrotter. But Mr. Trotter shrinks from the prospect of being addressed as Sir Lemuel.
Bertie: Lemuel, Jeeves? His name's not Lemuel!
Jeeves: I fear so, Sir.
Aunt Dahlia: Well, he could use his second name.
Jeeves: Hardly, Madam. His second name is Gengulphus.
Bertie: By George, there's some raw work pulled at the font sometimes, isn't there!
