The story begins with Archie attempting to mend his relationship with Mr. Brewster, who is unimpressed by Archie's lack of employment and previous criticism of his hotel. Despite his best efforts, Archie inadvertently finds himself in a series of misunderstandings, including being mistaken for a criminal mastermind and getting entangled in a police investigation. Throughout the novel, Archie's good-natured personality and his attempts to find work and prove himself to his father-in-law lead to a series of comedic situations. Wodehouse's signature wit and humor shine through as Archie bumbles his way through New York, encountering a colorful cast of characters and ultimately striving to win the approval of his wife's family.
