Klappentext Nothing but trouble can ensue when Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia instructs him to steal a silver jug from Totleigh Towers! home of magistrate and hell-hound! Sir Watkin Bassett.

Bertram answers! and so there follows what he himself calls the 'sinister affair of Gussie Fink-Nottle! Madeleine Bassett! old Pop Bassett! Stiffy Byng! the Rev. H. P. ('Stinker') Pinker! the eighteenth-century cow-creamer and the small! brown! leather-covered notebook'.
