The novel begins with Bertie and Jeeves driving home, and Bertie mentions the phrase "Joy cometh in the morning" that Jeeves supplies. Bertie narrates the events where Jeeves wants to go fishing at Steeple Bumpleigh, but Bertie refuses due to his fearsome Aunt Agatha and her husband living there. Bertie runs into Florence Craye, whom he was once engaged to, and through a misunderstanding, she thinks Bertie is trying to improve his mind, causing Bertie to fear she will renew their engagement. Meanwhile, Jeeves has been consulted by Lord Worplesdon to arrange a meeting with an American businessman, Chichester Clam, without alerting the press.

While working on the novel in Le Touquet, France, Wodehouse was interned by the occupying German authorities. After his wife, Ethel, joined him in Berlin, she brought the unfinished manuscript, and he completed the book in Germany. The manuscript was finished in Degenershausen, a small village in the Harz mountains.
