Bertie Wooster, a wealthy London bachelor, lives a charmed life of leisure—until his domineering Aunt Agatha decides it's time he settles down. Her latest matrimonial scheme threatens to trap Bertie in an engagement he desperately wants to avoid. Enter Jeeves, Bertie's brilliant valet with an uncanny talent for extracting his master from seemingly impossible social predicaments. When Aunt Agatha introduces a potential bride with designs on marriage, Bertie must rely on Jeeves's strategic genius to dodge commitment. Between elaborate social machinations, midnight escapes, and increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings, Bertie risks everything to preserve his bachelor freedom. Only Jeeves's razor-sharp wit stands between him and marital disaster.
