British Upper Crust Meets the New York Mob

“A gossamer-and champagne comedy…as smooth as a vintage Rolls!” – Chicago Tribune

“Effervescent! Sparkles with humor and great performances!” – Daily Herald

“A frothy piffle of a comedy that’s gleefully, mindlessly silly…well deserving of that titular bow!” – Sun-Times News Group

The Story

Everyone’s favorite hapless hero, Bertie Wooster, embarks on an American adventure armed only with his handsome fortune, his talent for trouble, and his remarkable manservant Jeeves. But is even the redoubtable Jeeves up to the task when Bertie is being pursued by both a vengeful Knuckles McCann and a marriage minded Vivienne Duckworth?
