Plot

This episode opens with Bertie Wooster being fined the sum of £5 after stealing a policeman's helmet on the night of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race. He arrives at his apartment, still hungover, when Jeeves arrives. Wooster agrees to take him on as his valet, after Jeeves makes a concoction that instantly cures his hangover.

Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha orders him to marry Honoria Glossop, whom Agatha believes will "reform" him. Bertie, not enamoured with the idea, finds that his friend Bingo Little is infatuated with her.  In order to get Honoria's love, Bingo Little produces a plan which involves Bertie Wooster throwing Honoria's little brother Oswald in the river. Bingo Little would save the boy in order to get her love. But the plan to get Bingo and Honoria together fails. Bertie has to jump into the water to rescue Honorias's brother, and Honoria falls in love with Bertie Wooster. His capable new valet Jeeves steps in with a plan to convince Sir Roderick and Lady Glossop that their potential son-in-law is unfit to marry their daughter.
