Plot

Bingo Little wants to marry a waitress so needs his uncle's blessing. Bertie is pushed into helping him by pretending to be author Rosie M. Banks again. Little's uncle, Lord Bittlesham, is under Sir Roderick Glossop who has moved to America. Trying to sort things out, Bertie manages to get Blair Eggleston to break off his engagement with Honoria Glossop who now wants to marry Bertie. Meanwhile Bingo marries the waitress, who turns out to be the real Rosie M. Banks, so she and Lord Bittlesham are also after Bertie who decides the best thing is to take the next ship to London. But so do all the others and, confronted by all of them on board, he and Jeeves jump ship. Eight and a half months later, they turn up back in England, with long beards and looking like they have spent much of that time in an open boat and in savage lands.
