Nobody as national as the character of Jeeves, the most superb of "gentlemen's gentlemen", could fail to make a hit the first time he appeared in dramatized form. As butler and bookie's clerk to an impoverished nobleman who practises turf accountancy the imperturbable Jeeves is able, in his own resourceful way, to rescue his lord from one scrape after another and finally, with brilliant ease, to retrieve the family fortune.
