Overjoyed that Madeleine Bassett is to marry Spode and stop pursuing him Bertie goes to Totleigh Towers for the wedding, meeting another Drone, drippy Ginger Winship, whose bullying fiancee ,Lady Florence Craye, is forcing him to stand for Parliament, or she will leave him. Sneaky ex-valet Brinkley has stolen the book from Jeeves' club in which manservants dish the dirt on their employers and hopes to make money by selling it to Ginger's Labour party rival but Bertie steals it, unaware that Ginger wants to be discredited so he will lose the election and Florence and can marry his secretary Magnolia whom he really loves. An outraged Florence declares that she is re-engaged to Bertie and Madeleine argues with Spode, also announcing her intention to wed Wooster. Fortunately the book contains information on Spode, which Bertie uses to make him marry Madeleine, whilst Florence takes a shine to Brinkley. Unfortunately the Totleigh Towers plumbing, which is plainly on its last legs and not helped by being serviced by Tuppy Glossop's new drain-cleaning machine, decides to erupt in the middle of the wedding, spraying the congregation with effluent. Jeeves and Wooster make a very swift exit.

Short filmTranscript
01:29Thank you, sir. Let us hope that the engagement stays the course.
01:33It's only going to stay until Saturday, Jees.
01:35We have dispatched the traditional toast rack.
01:38On Sunday morning, Madeline Bassett will awaken as the Countess of Sidcup
01:41and be out of Bertram's hair forevermore.
01:43I trust that your optimism is justified, sir.
01:46You're being a positive wet blanket this morning, Jees.
01:48I'm going down to the drones while you pack.
01:51Very good, sir.
01:58Oh, what's up, Bertie?
01:59I haven't seen you on a new take.
02:01I know. I've been rather busy.
02:02Coming down to Totley this week.
02:04Totley? No, why?
02:05For wedding. Madeline Bassett and Roderick Spode.
02:07Oh, no, no, no. I wouldn't be asked of that.
02:09Well, since the time Barbie and I dressed up in black shorts
02:11for one of Spode's rallies and bombarding him with turdips.
02:16Well, I'm sorry you won't be able to join us.
02:17Well, I couldn't anyway, as a matter of fact.
02:19Far too busy with Plumbo Jumbo.
02:22Plumbo Jumbo?
02:23Plumbo Jumbo.
02:24It's a good name, isn't it?
02:25That was my idea.
02:26I've sunk all my money into this, Bertie.
02:28You haven't got any money.
02:29Yes, well, all my father's money.
02:31It is going to make me a fortune.
02:34Now, I've come across this inventor chap here,
02:38name of Wifflingham.
02:39Now, one of the things he's been working on for years
02:41is this machine.
02:42Now, it not only clears drains,
02:44but it keeps the pipes with this secret sort of mixture
02:47while it does so, so they never get blocked up again.
02:51Anyway, I've put my advertisement in all the papers,
02:54and I'm just sitting back waiting for the work to flood in.
03:00Is that a joke?
03:03Is one a joke?
03:21Are you all right, sir?
03:24You ought to take more care, cocky,
03:26dancing about in the middle of the street like that.
03:29Thought you were a goner.
03:30Oh, I've blastered.
03:31Well, nearly was a goner.
03:32Ah, it's you, Worcester.
03:35Hello, Reggie.
03:38Do we know him, Jeeves?
03:40I fear so, sir.
03:41His name is Brinkley.
03:43Perhaps he would care to come into the Ganymede Club
03:45for a restorative glass of whiskey, sir.
03:47Well.
03:50Sir, this is your famous Ganymede Club, is it?
03:52Jolly nice place.
03:54It's good of you to say so, sir.
03:55Do you have to be a valet or a butler to be a member, is that it?
03:58Quite so, sir.
04:00Have a city on set, have you, Reggie?
04:02I can't find the fella anywhere.
04:04I'm afraid not, Brinkley.
04:07What a do, eh?
04:10Don't miss the emergency meeting, Reggie.
04:12Is that blighter?
04:13Is he a valet or a butler?
04:15Not now, sir.
04:17An uncle in the grocery business died
04:19and left him a house and a comfortable sum of money.
04:22You employed him once, if you recall, sir.
04:24I did? What else?
04:26It was during that uncomfortable period, sir,
04:29when you and I had had a disagreement about your trombone playing.
04:32Oh, good grief, yes.
04:33He got drunk and burnt my cottage down.
04:35Now he's a landed gent, you say.
04:37Scarcely that, sir.
04:39He has a small establishment in Totley and the World.
04:42Coincidentally enough.
04:49There is something I ought to tell you, sir.
04:51Tell away, Jeeves.
04:53The purpose of the emergency meeting to which Mr Brinkley referred
04:56was to discuss the theft of the Gaddymead Club book.
05:03Theft, Jeeves?
05:05Yes, sir.
05:06It's been stolen?
05:08The book in which you've written down all my endearing eccentricities
05:11for the amusement of your fellow Ganymedians?
05:12Not only your characteristics, sir,
05:15but the idiosyncrasies of all the gentlemen's gentlemen's gentlemen,
05:18if I may so put it.
05:19And by no means for their amusement, sir,
05:22but as a serious guide to those considering employment.
05:25The penalties for omitting any details are severe, sir.
05:28Well, you know what that blasted book invites, Jeeves.
05:31Blackmail, that's what it invites.
05:33Now you tell me that the blasted thing has been stolen.
05:35Well, what will be the upshot, Jeeves?
05:36Ruin.
05:37That'll be the upshot.
05:38I'm sorry, sir.
05:40It's not an expression I often use, Jeeves, but...
05:44Very good, sir.
05:57Good Lord!
05:58Ginger Winship!
06:00Bertie!
06:01Nice to see you!
06:02Are you down here for the wedding?
06:03No, no, there's a by-election.
06:05I'm standing for Parliament.
06:06No!
06:06I am.
06:07But you're an absolute idiot, Ginger.
06:09I know, but it's a safe seat.
06:11I didn't particularly want to, as a matter of fact,
06:13but my fiancée insisted.
06:15She said I ought to carve out a career for myself.
06:17Yes, well, they're like that.
06:19Drink?
06:20No, my fiancée says drink hardens the arteries.
06:23Ah, well, my arteries could do with a bit of hardening.
06:25She has me on a reducing diet, too.
06:28Good God!
06:29Sounds just like Florence Cray.
06:30Who sounds just like Florence Cray?
06:33Ah, Florence.
06:34Ah, no, well, Ginger was just telling me about this,
06:37this beautiful, highly intelligent girl
06:39he's got himself engaged to, and I said...
06:41Harold is engaged to me.
06:43Ah, well, that explains it.
06:46You're down for Madeleine's wedding, I presume?
06:48Good.
06:48You can do some canvassing for Harold while you're down here.
06:52Er, well...
06:53Good.
06:53Come on, Harold.
06:54You've got your meeting in ten minutes.
06:57You too, Bertie.
07:14Mrs. McCorkadale.
07:16Mrs. McCorkadale.
07:29Ladies and gentlemen, well, um, as you know, well, of course, perhaps you don't.
07:39Well, anyway, it's true.
07:41There's a by-election in Topley-in-the-Wald.
07:44Here, here.
07:47Oh, um, my name's Winship, by the way.
07:51Er, Harold Winship.
07:53And I'm, well, sort of...
07:56standing.
07:58I'm your...
07:59what do you call it?
08:00Um...
08:01Candidate.
08:02Oh.
08:03As a Conservative, of course.
08:09I mean, if you'd like to vote for anybody, I'd be, well, jolly grateful if it was, well, me.
08:16Don't you know?
08:20Thanks, Anthony.
08:23Out of camp.
08:24Not that it matters.
08:26Winship hasn't gotten earthly.
08:29Take my word for a cocky.
08:31Phone your bookie right now.
08:33Get your money on the Labour candidate.
08:34Mrs McCorkadale.
08:37He just stood there, saying,
08:39urgh.
08:40Of course, it didn't much matter.
08:42You couldn't hear him more than five feet away.
08:44Well, I...
08:45Bertie's exactly the same.
08:46Mumble, mumble, mumble.
08:48I say, Aunt Agatha.
08:50I think Bertie's got a very nice speaking voice.
08:53Nice?
08:54Put your knife and fork down straight, Bertie, if you've finished, and don't slump.
09:01As father of the bride-to-be,
09:03I must say that I look forward to Saturday as being one of the happiest days of their life.
09:07The happy couple.
09:12The marriage is an honourable estate.
09:17In the 20th century, however,
09:19it has fallen into some disrepute due to the vexed question of overpopulation.
09:23It is my intention to introduce into the House of Lords a bill
09:26forbidding anyone earning less than 500 pounds a year to have children.
09:30At 500 a year, he can have one child.
09:31At 1,000 pounds a year, he can have two children.
09:33At 1,500, three, and so forth.
09:46Something up with the bath?
09:48The water appears reluctant to drain, sir.
09:52Got the plug out, have you?
09:54That was amongst the first things I thought of, sir.
09:58I exchanged words with the man Brinkley earlier this afternoon, sir,
10:02at Mr Winship's election rally.
10:04Yes, I noticed.
10:05I must confess I was somewhat perturbed by his manner.
10:08Oh? What did he say?
10:09He advised me to place a wager on Mrs McCorkerdale,
10:12but it was not so much what he said
10:13as the easy insolence with which he said it,
10:16as if he knew something that was not common currency
10:18and that he could profit by it.
10:26I'm here to introduce your new candidate.
10:29Ladies and gentlemen,
10:31my own elevation to the peerage
10:33debars me from standing for Parliament,
10:35but there are others to carry on my great work.
10:39My design for a giant, collapsible Chalmbridge,
10:43first to tempt the unsuspecting foreign hordes
10:46and then to hurl them into the waves below
10:49is well under way.
10:55The most slimy creature called Brinkley.
10:58He has this book in his possession,
11:01which, he says, contains information
11:03about some youthful indiscretions
11:05on behalf of my opponent in this election, Mr Winship,
11:09which, if made public,
11:11would be certain to make the worst impression
11:13on the voters of Totley and the world
11:14and, as he put it, make it a walkover for me.
11:20He's asked me for money for the book.
11:22Oh, what did you do?
11:23I sent him away with a flea in his ear, of course.
11:26But I thought it only proper to let Mr Winship know.
11:32The moaning minis will try to tell us
11:35that these measures I indicated
11:37are too radical, too bold.
11:39But I have to say to them,
11:41Rome may have been built in a day,
11:44but it took only a trumpet
11:45to bring down the walls of Jericho.
11:57I should now like to present to you
12:00the face of modern conservatism,
12:03my good friend,
12:05your candidate,
12:06Gerald Parsnip.
12:14Harold Winship.
12:22Um...
12:23Nothing seems to be happening at all.
12:26What, how old?
12:27You're no good at drains, I suppose, Worcester.
12:30Good thought, now.
12:32Every sink in the place, blocked solid.
12:34This looks like a job for plumbo-jumbo.
12:36What-oh, what-oh.
12:38Uh, well, this pal of mine,
12:39uh, well, chum of a pal of mine,
12:41actually, has this wonderful machine
12:42for this sort of thing.
12:43I don't know that we want any machines.
12:45Some of these drains go back 200 years, you know.
12:48No, no, this is just the thing.
12:49The gentle giant, they call it.
12:51Who do?
12:53This pal of a chum of mine.
12:55Or the other way round, rather.
13:00I can't possibly come down to Topley.
13:02Spode would turn me limb from limb.
13:04No, he won't.
13:05It's your big chance, I'll be.
13:06You can come in disguise.
13:08Right.
13:09Pardon me, sir.
13:10I have some disquieting news.
13:17So Brinkley's got the book,
13:18and he's trying a spot of blackmail.
13:20Yes, sir.
13:21I don't see what harm he can do
13:22if old McCorkadale's turned him down.
13:24What if he should try to sell the contents of the book
13:27to the local newspapers, sir?
13:28And if, in consequence,
13:30Mr. Winchard should lose the election?
13:31Well, I imagine democracy would survive the blow, Jeeves.
13:34The talk in the servants' hall, sir,
13:36is that Lady Florence has informed Mr. Winchard
13:38that if he does not win the election,
13:39their engagement will be at an end.
13:43Good God!
13:44You mean Florence will once again be roaming the land
13:47thirsting for confetti and a three-tiered cake?
13:49Indeed, sir.
13:50She may once more turn her attention to faithful old Worcester.
13:53It seems to me most likely under the circumstances, sir.
13:56This is serious, Jeeves.
13:57There's something else for it.
13:58We shall have to steal that book back from Brinkley.
14:06You should have heard them, Madeline.
14:08The applause, the cheers.
14:10If I were contesting this constituency,
14:12comrade so-called McCorkadale wouldn't get one vote.
14:14But you can't, Broderick.
14:16You're in the House of Lords now.
14:18I know, I know.
14:19Not one vote!
14:27What in God's name is that?
14:36Are you the dead what's sent for Plumbo-Jumbo?
14:39Don't I know you?
14:41Couldn't rightly say, Guff.
14:42I mean, you shouldn't think so.
14:43Not unless you happen to be in the old plumbing game, like.
14:54Of course!
14:55Strike a light!
14:56It's me, it's me, tuppy.
14:57I know it's you, you fool.
14:59Let's get out of here, Jeeves.
15:01We've got a beggary to commit.
15:11I'm here as a fellow member of the Ganymede Club, Brinkley.
15:15I have reason to believe that you have absconded with the club book,
15:19which, as you well know, is strictly against the rules.
15:23Oh, now, come along, Reggie.
15:25You had no right to remove that book from a club.
15:27Well, business is business, Reggie.
15:30I've done some pretty heavy betting on the Corkadale,
15:33and I have to protect my investment.
15:35Oh, my God!
15:58I'm not obliged to anyone but yourself, Reggie.
16:00What about the Ganymede Club?
16:02You swore and loof.
16:06Come on, please.
16:16Ross pointed a burglar.
16:18He was climbing into an upstairs window, sir.
16:20I'll remove these letters so he can all make his escape, sir.
16:23What?
16:27Now, intruder, Mr. Bates,
16:29he'll escape me down to the waitress, sir.
16:31Move, Reggie.
16:32Move.
16:55This way, sir.
17:03Well, I think we can slow down now, Jeeves.
17:05There's no one after us.
17:06I shall feel more secure, sir,
17:08with the Ganymede book safely locked away.
17:10Well, then you take it on out to the house
17:12and lock the penny thing away.
17:13I'm gonna sit down and catch my breath.
17:15Very good, sir.
17:42I'm sorry, Ginger.
17:43I didn't, uh...
17:44I suppose this seems a bit odd to you, Bertie.
17:47I love Magnolia.
17:49No, no, no, no, no, Ginger.
17:50Put yourself together.
17:51You're meant to love Florence.
17:53Oh, Bertie.
17:54The trouble is, you meet this girl with a perfect profile,
17:58curly hair and a willowy figure,
17:59and bingo, you say to yourself,
18:01this is the one.
18:02Accept no substitutes.
18:04Little knowing you're linking your lot
18:05with a female sergeant major
18:07with unusually strong views on the subject of discipline.
18:09Well, no, Florence is firm.
18:11I grant you resolute.
18:12She's a nerd.
18:13Well, no, she offers advice.
18:15If only I'd looked a little further.
18:17I'd have found the kindest, sweetest, gentlest girl
18:20that ever took shorthand.
18:23I allude to Magnolia Glendennen.
18:25She's my secretary.
18:27Yes, well, I'm sorry, Ginger,
18:28but there's a snag here.
18:29I expect you spotted it.
18:31Florence.
18:31Well done.
18:32No, it's all right.
18:33I'm going to get Florence to break our engagement.
18:36No, no, no, no, no, Ginger.
18:37Let's not be hasty.
18:38I'm going to lose the election.
18:40But how?
18:41The voters of Totley in the world
18:43would elect Bobsy the clothier bunny rabbit
18:45if he was wearing a blue rosette.
18:46Ah, but you don't know about Brinkley.
18:48Brinkley in the Ganymede Club book.
18:50Oh, you do know?
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:52But anyway, that book contains
18:53a lot of damaging stuff about me.
18:55If it was revealed, it would hand the election
18:57to Mrs. McCorkadale on a plate.
18:59So anyway, I've given Brinkley 100 quid,
19:02and he's getting the book for me.
19:03The first thing I'll do is send it to the Totley
19:05Argus Reminder with instructions to publish.
19:08Well, Ginger, I'm afraid I have bad news for you.
19:10Jeeves has the book.
19:11Well, that's good.
19:12He can take it to the Argus Reminder.
19:14Well, I'm sorry, Ginger, but to Jeeves,
19:16that book is absolutely sacred.
19:18He'd never let it out of his hands.
19:19You can persuade him, Bertie.
19:22Oh, well, I doubt it, Ginger.
19:24Do my best, of course.
19:31How long is this going to take?
19:34Oh, there you are, you see.
19:37You can't rightly say, Gav, can you?
19:40I mean, how long's a piece of headlock?
19:44Huh?
19:46Right, sir.
19:48Here we go, ladies and jeans.
20:01There you are, you see?
20:02There you are, you see?
20:16Got it.
20:26There you are.
20:43No, there you are.
20:45There you are.
20:45Oh, no.
20:46Oh, no.
20:46afraid ginger very well very well oh I wasn't there oh it isn't who are you
21:14anyway oh I was um I was just coming to see you what for what's that book you're carrying it's
21:22a book I'm carrying it bring it here it's nothing I don't did you write this what if I did
21:36did you
21:36or didn't you interesting you can't use real people's names there oh no I know trying to
21:43add very similitude I suppose oh look here what's your name and mr. Brinkley look here mr. Brinkley
21:55what do you mean the book's gone here we are sir you don't understand Jeeves mr. Winship wants it
22:13published so that he can lose the election and not have to marry Lady Florence who could have
22:17taken it mr. Brinkley I dare say sir but I don't think we need have any worries on that score
22:22sir
22:23Lord Sidcup's eloquence on behalf of mr. Winship is having such a marked effect on the electorate
22:28that I doubt that even revelations by Brinkley or anyone else could do anything more than make a
22:33small dent in his majority really are you sure well that's wonderful
22:42the way forward for this country out of the slough of despondent has fallen into is through public
22:51ownership of mines railways road transport electricity generation and all other essential services
22:58so don't let my opponent frighten you into thinking otherwise
23:25well I've listened to mrs. McCorkerdale and uh
23:30to be quite honest I'm convinced I think you should all jolly well vote for her
23:49you were wonderful
23:53ladies and gentlemen I have an announcement to make
24:41oh Bertie
24:44how could he Bertie oh what oh Florence I didn't see you there how could Harold give up
24:49the election in that cowardly manner uh well what is wrong with men today well perhaps I misjudged
24:57you Bertie there's perhaps you are no worse than the rest of them oh I am much worse I'm going
25:03to give you one more chance Bertie well uh I don't deserve it yeah perhaps not but fate has ordained
25:09it you may announce our engagement Bertie
25:13you may announce our engagement Bertie
25:15you
25:30well this is good news I have absolutely no intention of marrying Florence Cray what are you burbling about boy
25:40I was referring to your engagement to little Madeleine Bassett
25:44I'm not engaged to little Madeleine Bassett little Madeleine Bassett is engaged to sperm that's why we're all assembled here
25:49for the wedding on Saturday
25:50do be quiet Bertie
25:52Lord Sidcup and Madeleine no longer intend to marry he feels that because of popular demand he must renounce his
26:00title in order to enter politics again
26:02renounce his title I don't see what that's got to do with it it would appear that Sidcup's only attraction
26:08for Madeleine was in the prospect of becoming the countess of Sidcup
26:12that gone she would prefer to cast her lot in with you what she can't she's not one of the
26:18gals that I had marked down for you of course but she does show remarkable determination for one so soppy
26:26perhaps there's more to her than meets the eye
26:47the dinner gong has sounded that
26:50don't even mention food Jeeves
26:53who was that fellow with the circles Jeeves
26:55you are perhaps thinking of the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri sir who in the first part of his Divino Commedia
27:03is conducted by Virgil through the nine circles of hell
27:09that's the chap
27:10well those fellows he bumped into had it easy
27:12one could beg to take issue with you there sir
27:15were any of them engaged to marry Florence Cray
27:18the poet makes no mention of it sir
27:20or condemned to stand wave faced and trembling at the altar steps while Madeleine Bassett advanced on them up the
27:26aisle on the arm of her father
27:28indeed not sir
27:30well it had to happen to somebody one day I suppose
27:32and it happened to me today
27:35fate has dealt me the royal flush Jeeves
27:38I'm engaged to Madeleine Bassett and Lady Florence at the same time
27:45oh
27:47oh dear sir
27:55I'm sorry Roderick but there's nothing I can do about it you brought it on yourself
27:58I know I know
28:00I mean it's no joke for a sensitive girl who thinks she's really the Countess of Sidcup to have the
28:04fellow say April fool all you're gonna be is Mrs Spode
28:07but she won't she'll still be Lady Spode
28:10but only a baronet's wife
28:11but only a baronet's wife

28:55no
28:56efficiency
28:56no

30:02ah Brinkley
30:04ah Reggie
30:05this is a bit of an how do you do if you like
30:07I was on my way to see you Mr. Brinkley
30:09to demand the return of the Ganymede Club book
30:11I haven't got it
30:12I wish I did have
30:13trying to get her back off that Florence
30:16lady Florence has the book
30:18she thinks I wrote it
30:20she thinks it's a novel
30:21but why are you so anxious to retrieve it
30:23well
30:24now Spode's standing
30:25I needed to scupper him
30:26my bets on McCorkerdale winning
30:29no matter who's standing against her
30:30but there's nothing in the book to harm Sir Roderick
30:33the eulily business is long out of date
30:35since he sold the lingerie shop
30:37eulily nothing
30:38don't you know about
30:39er
30:42well
30:43I'm not about to tell you am I
30:45something's only gone in recent
30:46that happened years ago
30:49didn't know it was in the book myself
30:50till I just happened to be glancing through it the other day
30:58and then she calmly informs me that the execution day is tomorrow
31:01tomorrow Jeeves
31:02I mean what am I going to do
31:03I can't step out of this room without one of those blasted women collaring me
31:08fortunately neither of them has yet got wind of my engagement to the other
31:11but that can't last
31:12oh no it's a night page Jeeves
31:14I tell you
31:17Jeeves?
31:18Sir?
31:20oh I'm sorry sir
31:21I was cuddling my brains as to how I might retrieve the Ganymede Club book from Lady Florent
31:27the Ganymede Club book Jeeves I'm afraid
31:30that compared with my imminent marriage to Madeline Bassett
31:33and subsequent imprisonment on charges of attempted bigamy
31:36together with the probability of the brute spow doing unspeakable things to my remain
31:40the whereabouts of the Ganymede Club book is but a pimple on the face of the moon
31:44very good sir
31:46but I've only just heard that the book may contain sensitive information concerning Lord Sidquart
31:51which might be used to persuade him to resume his title and so pave the way for a reunion with
31:57Miss Bassett
31:58oh and now now don't toy with me Jeeves
32:01don't give a condemned man false hope
32:04oh wait a minute it's not that old eulily business again is it
32:07no sir something only recently inserted
32:10really?
32:11oh Jeeves
32:12Jeeves I'm sorry I should have had faith
32:14no I'm not myself Madeline Bassett's been preying on my mind
32:18the prospect of being linked for life to a girl who would come down to breakfast put her hands over
32:22my eyes and say
32:23guess who has given my morale a wallop
32:25I can understand sir very unpleasant
32:27and what Lady Florence might do at breakfast is beyond imagining
32:30well Jeeves we must get that book
32:32okay
32:34MUSIC PLAYS
32:59Antony!
33:01What? Oh, Madeleine.
33:04What are you doing in here?
33:05Um, just looking for my socks.
33:08Socks? Why would you look for your socks in Florence's room?
33:13Florence's room?
33:15Oh, where am I? I feel faint.
33:19I must say, Florence, this engagement of Bertie's makes me very happy.
33:25Well, er... I'm glad that you're pleased.
33:29Are you all right, Bertie?
33:32Where am I?
33:33I just told you, you're in Florence's room.
33:36What I want to know, Bertie, is...
33:37Who are you?
33:39Bertie!
33:40What on earth are you doing in my room?
33:43Who? Why is he lying on the floor?
33:45I think he's having a brainstorm.
33:47What with?
33:48Why should I come into my room to have a brainstorm?
33:50But poor darling doesn't know where he is.
33:53But you do, presumably?
33:54And what are you doing in here?
33:56Well, I saw him come in and naturally, since we...
33:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, gosh!
34:00Bertie!
34:00He's making a lot of noise.
34:02My late husband never made a noise.
34:04What he needs is peace and quiet.
34:06If I could ask you to leave him with me...
34:08No, he must come with me.
34:09After all, here's my...
34:11Kindly remember that Bertie and I are about to be...
34:15Where's the floor, Bertie, darling?
34:17Please do not address Bertie in that over-familiar tone, Madeleine.
34:21I don't see why she shouldn't.
34:23She is, after all...
34:24Ah!
34:25The agony!
34:26The agony!
34:27He's getting worse!
34:28Perhaps I can be of assistance, ladies?
34:30Oh, jeez!
34:32Have you ever seen him like this before?
34:34With increasing frequency, I regret to say, Lady Florence.
34:37We should loosen his collar.
34:39I hardly think such drastic measures are called for, Miss Bassett,
34:42if you'll allow me.
34:45Can you walk, sir, if I assist you?
34:51Ah!
34:52Ah!
34:52Ah!
34:52Jeeves!
34:53He recognises you anyway, Jeeves.
34:55He didn't know who I was and I'm his...
34:57Ah!
34:58I do apologise, sir.
34:59You, er...
35:00Trod on my toe.
35:01Sorry, jeez.
35:02Just hold on, sir.
35:03We'll get you your tablets.
35:16Oh, my, Josh!
35:18Jeeves, that was a close call.
35:19Did you find the book, sir?
35:20No, Madeline came along before I had a chance to look properly.
35:23Well, I can't risk it again.
35:24You'll have to do it.
35:25Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
35:26I could not possibly engage in anomalous activities in any house in which we are guests.
35:29Oh, come, Jeeves!
35:31Oh, my oh, my God!
35:34Oh, you know that we still worry.
35:37Oh, my...
35:38I thought you'd have died.
35:39No, come in, me up in road.
35:41He-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!
35:42Tuffy.
35:43Oh.
35:44Oh, er...
35:45Sorry, jeez, sir.
35:45I was just a-looking at your party.
35:47Not to see you where-
35:47Tuffy, it's me, Bertie.
35:50Bertie!
35:51Oh, sorry.
35:52How do you get rather carried away, you know?
35:54Look, I wonder if I ought to go on the stage.
35:56You'll pardon me for interrupting, sir, but a notion has just come to me.
36:00Well, that's the best news I've...
36:03Yes, Jeaves.
36:04Yes, Tubby, come in here a minute, will you?
36:07Have a seat, Tubby, old man. Drink.
36:09Er, Jeeves, a brandy for Mr Glossop, will you?
36:11What's going on?
36:13Now, Tubby, we have a little job that we'd like you to do.
36:18Job? What job?
36:20What are you doing up here, Constable?
36:23Sir Wachin ordered me to patrol the house, Mr Butterfield,
36:26for to guard the wedding presents.
36:29No, no, no!
36:31What was that, Mr Butterfield?
36:33Oh, that'll be Mr Worcester's room.
36:36Look, Tubby, in your role as Mr Plumbo Jumbo,
36:38you have access to any room you like.
36:40We'll make it easy for you.
36:41You can steal the book while everyone's down at dinner.
36:43I'm not stealing the book at all.
36:45As an added insurance, sir,
36:47I could send Lady Florence a telegram demanding her attendance in London.
36:51Well, there you are, you see, Tubby.
36:52Can't say fairer than that.
36:53Now, get that scent off now, will you, Jeeves?
36:55No, don't bother, Jeeves.
36:56I'm not going to do it.
36:58Very well.
36:59Jeeves, just pop down and ask Sir Roderick to come and see us, will you?
37:02No!
37:04But that isn't cricket, Bertie.
37:06I'm sorry, Tubby.
37:07The desperate times call for desperate measures.
37:10Poor Mr Glossop, another desperate measure, will you, Jeeves?
37:16Oh, pardon me, Lady Florence.
37:20Mr Brinkley, good afternoon.
37:21It's about my book, Lady Florence.
37:24I've been reading it with immense interest.
37:26Oh.
37:27You have a most forthright and muscular style.
37:30Oh.
37:30I just wondered if I could have it back.
37:33And the brilliant use of different handwriting for each chapter to reinforce the concept
37:38of the multiple narrator, I presume.
37:40The multiple thing.
37:42Yes.
37:43I just...
37:44Pardon me, Lady Florence.
37:45A telegram for you.
37:47Oh, thank you, Jeeves.
37:53What a nuisance.
37:54I have to go to London to see my publisher this evening.
37:57But what I'd like to do is...
37:58Goodbye, Mr Brinkley.
38:34Warren, do you?
38:35Good afternoon.
38:37Thanks.
38:38Jeff, are you listening to this thing?
38:51My friends, the Trotley-in-the-world by-election for which I am standing is merely a beginning.
39:05Sir Watkinson, I have apprehended two intruders.
39:08No, no, that's a Jimbo-Jambo man.
39:11Yeah, a Plumbo-Jumbo, sir.
39:13Then what were they a-doing of in Miss Florence's bedroom, Sir Watkinson?
39:16He's got my job!
39:18Here, here, here!
39:23You! You're the man who ruined my Earl's Court rally throwing sweets!
39:27Sir, yes! No! No!
39:30Do you know what I'm going to do to you?
39:33No, Roderick, leave him alone. Is there any chance of getting the plumbing fixed?
39:37Mind you, he's only made it worse so far with that Dumbo-Crambo.
39:41Dumbo-Dumbo?
39:42Huh?
39:43I'm going to butter you all over the Lord.
39:45No!
39:46And then I'm going to dance on the fragments in hobnial boots!
40:00Oh, get him some more, kid, sir!
40:05Oh, get him some more, kid, sir!
40:20Oh, indeed, sir!
40:23I think if you were to say the word Celia to Sir Roderick, it would have the desired effect.
40:28Celia?
40:29Yes, you couldn't tell me a bit more, I suppose? Rules of the Ganymede and all that?
40:33Just so, sir.
40:35Right, so I just say the word Celia,
40:37Spode becomes as putty in my hands, reclaims his title and marries Madeleine.
40:40I think it extremely likely, sir.
40:43Right.
40:55You?
40:56Yes, please, Spode.
40:57Now, I want you to give up this extremely stupid idea of standing for Parliament.
41:02Oh!
41:03You want me to give up this extremely stupid idea of standing for Parliament, do you?
41:08Yes, I do.
41:09Well, you should have said so before, Worcester.
41:13Your snivelling little wit.
41:15Do you know what I'm going to do to you?
41:18Yes, yes, yes, Spode.
41:19I'm accustomed to your threats of mindless violence.
41:21The first thing you will be aware of is the sound of your teeth as they rattle down your throat.
41:26Worcester.
41:26I have just one thing to say to you, Spode.
41:29Celia.
41:31Celia?
41:35Yes, Celia.
41:38What was it, Celia?
41:39No, Celia.
41:43Oh.
41:47Oh, Celia.
41:52So, let's hear no more of it, Spode.
41:54I'm sorry, Worcester.
41:56Well, apologies are just not good enough, Spode.
41:58No, I know.
41:59I'm sorry.
42:00Oops.
42:01There I go again.
42:02I'll just look to your behaviour in future.
42:06Wait a minute.
42:09Wait a minute.
42:14Now, look here.
42:15I have to go.
42:17What about Celia?
42:19Well, it's just...
42:20You don't know anything about Celia, do you?
42:23Well, it's a girl.
42:26Ha!
42:27You don't know anything about Celia.
42:29And even if you did, you wouldn't be able to prove anything.
42:32Now, now, look.
42:33He has to burn down.
42:45Mrs. Gregson.
42:50Oh dear.
43:00Now, you're sure you can get proof in London?
43:02Yes.
43:02I believe so, sir.
43:03Be back by morning.
43:04I will do my very best, sir.
43:05Go then, Jeeves.
43:06On wings or what's it?
43:07Very good, sir.
43:08Otherwise, tomorrow, I'm the chief mourner of my own wedding.
43:19Oh dear.
43:21Where are you, Jeeves?
43:35Take it like a man, Worcester.
43:39Jeeves!
43:39Ha!
43:54I really am most annoyed.
43:57That telegram purporting to come from my publisher was a hoax.
44:01Good Lord.
44:02The time was not altogether wasted, however.
44:04I was able to give a lot of thought to our forthcoming wedding as I dream.
44:07Oh, good.
44:08St. Margaret's.
44:09Westminster, I think.
44:10Don't you?
44:11Yes.
44:12Oh, well, uh...
44:15Of course, Daddy will expect the reception to be at the Park Street house.
44:20Ha!
44:20Ha!
44:20Now, do you...
44:21Just go and get my powder.
44:23Bertie!
44:24You mustn't see me!
44:25You mustn't see me!
44:26You mustn't see me!
44:27You mustn't see me!
44:29Why did she say that you mustn't see her?
44:32Did she say that?
44:34I...
44:34I thought she said the dress looked...
44:36see me.
44:38See me?
44:39Yes, that's why she's rushed back into her room, I expect.
44:42I'll take a few seams out.
44:46Bertie, can you just stop drivelling for one moment and tell me just exactly what is going...
44:51Oh, all right, dash it.
44:53Very well.
44:54Madeline and I are going to get married.
44:59No.
45:01Madeline is going to marry the out-of-sick-car.
45:03No, she isn't.
45:04She's given him the bum's rush and I'm...
45:06She's...
45:07marrying you?
45:08Yes.
45:09In about half an hour.
45:12What?!
45:16Worcester!
45:20Where's that bloody chum on the part of a friend of yours?
45:23Oh, how shall I know?
45:24Smove chase tomorrow!
45:25We'll change your run-in!
45:29You sucked him up, that's funny!
45:31I...
45:36Made it worse, you bloody idiot!
45:38You'd better get off to the chapel, Worcester.
45:40Sir Roderick's waiting for you.
45:41He's gonna be your best man!
45:44What?!
45:51So, you are not the groom after all, my lord?
45:54No.
45:54He is.
45:56I am.
45:57Perhaps not, sir.
46:00Jeeves!
46:01Did you...?
46:02Perhaps Sir Roderick would be kind enough to come into the vestry for a moment.
46:07What for?
46:08No more!
46:09No more!
46:18Celia!
46:27Sir Roderick, in his youth, was in the Antipodes and in straitened circumstances.
46:32Those circumstances improved dramatically overnight, and Sir Roderick was strongly suspected of knobbling Celia in a kangaroo race, a sport
46:42to which our Australian cousins are inordinately attached.
46:44And that was the actual Celia?
46:46No, sir.
46:47But I felt that the likeness was sufficient to deceive Sir Roderick.
47:01It's gratifying, is it not, Sir, that Miss Bassett bore the end of her engagement to you so bravely.
47:06Bravely wasn't the word for it, Jeeves.
47:08Soon as she heard that Spoke was going to be an earl again, that there was a sharpish chance that
47:11you could still make countess, she dropped me in like a hot pimento.
47:15Although, I must say, I can't help feeling badly for Lady Florence, Jeeves, in spite of her brutal assault on
47:20my copper.
47:20That is hard to forgive, sir. But a lady will express heartbreak in many different ways.
47:34What on earth is she doing with Brinkley?
47:37I persuaded Sir Watkin that Brinkley was just the type of personage to restore the faith of the local electors
47:43in the Conservative Party.
47:44He will be adopted as candidate.
47:46It seems that the mixture of prominent novelist and rising parliamentarian was too heady for Lady Florence to resist.
47:54Well, of all the callous, heartless, unfeeling women, Jeeves.
48:00Precisely, sir.
48:03Thank you, Jeeves.
48:05I endeavour to give satisfaction, sir.
48:08Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation
48:17to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
48:28Which is an honourable estate instituted of God in the time of man's innocency.
48:37Signifying unto us a mystical union.
48:56heheheheh!
49:03Heheheh!
49:04Heheheheh!
49:08Heheheheh!
49:09Wooster!
49:09Okay.
49:10I'm not even running my first mursy.
49:11I am!
49:12For the Volker!
49:18For the Volker!
49:43Hush!
49:44Hush!
49:46Hush!
49:48Hush!
49:50Hush!
49:51Hush!
49:52Hush!
50:10Access!
50:10Oh, my God.
50:40Oh, my God.
