The Code Of The Woosters av P.G. Wodehouse

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. First he must face the peril of Sir Watkin's droopy daughter, Madeleine, and then the terrors of would-be Dictator, Roderick Spode and his gang of Black Shorts. But when duty calls, 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'.In a plot with more twists than an English country lane, it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves to extract his master from the soup again.
