Right Ho, Jeeves
By P. G. Wodehouse
Adapted by Hudson Wiswall
Small cast version adapted by Katelyn Ericson
Plot Synopsis
Bertie Wooster steps into mayhem as he tries to solve not one but four problems. It all started in Cannes when his cousin Angela was almost inhaled by a shark and his Aunt Dahlia lost all of her money at baccarat. Things get more complicated when his newt-loving friend, Gussy Fink-Nottle, falls in love with Madeline Bassett, a romantic idealist who still believes in fairies. Then Tuppy Glossop breaks off his engagement with Angela, and Bertie now has multiple broken hearts to mend. And why is the incomparable French chef Anatole so upset? Bertie's efforts to mend matters leads to chaotic misadventures, and it takes Jeeves, the ideal valet, to ensure the happy ending.

Gussie Fink-Nottle - an old school friend of Bertie's. Gussie is a shy scholar, a newt collector, and a bit of a recluse who has fallen desperately in love with Madeline Bassett. He asks Bertie to help him because he does not know how to get up the courage to propose to her.
