Bertie Wooster ist Junggeselle und lebt in London. Ebenfalls in seinem Appartment wohnt sein Angestellter Jeeves, der ihm stets zu Diensten ist und auf jede Frage eine Antwort hat. So löst er nicht nur Probleme seines Herren, sondern ist auch mit Rat und Tat zur Stelle, wenn seine Freunde um Hilfe bitten. Insbesondere Richard "Bingo" Little, ein Kommilitone Woosters aus alten Studientagen, ist nie um eine selbstverschuldete, missliche Lage verlegen und verlangt nach einer helfenden Hand, zumal wenn es mal wieder darum geht, das Herz einer weiteren Frau zu erobern.
