Can Jeeves help Lord Rowcester to sell his crumbling pile?

An all-star cast brings PG Wodehouse's comedy thriller to galloping life.

Jeeves is on loan to young Lord Rowcester (Bill). Wooster is absent, attending a school designed to teach the aristocracy to fend for itself. Jeeves has to exert his gigantic fish-fed brain to help his new master raise cash. A wealthy American widow thinks the Abbey is wonderful, full of ghosts. But will she buy it?

Meanwhile Captain Biggar is on the trail of a bookie and his clerk, who conned him at Epsom races and have somehow gone to ground in the Abbey. Will he realise its Bill and Jeeves?
