Ok, Wodehouse purists will be forgiven for wondering what this is all about. After about two minutes, in which we are introduced to "Bertie Wooster" (David Niven) and his general factotum "Jeeves' (Arthur Treacher) the plot diverts from anything ever penned by the writer and embarks on an, admittedly, lightly comedic path that finds the pair of them caught up in the shenanigans of "Marjorie Loman" (Virginia Field) who in trying to keep some important plans from the hands of some crooks. Treacher is great, and his scenes with both Niven and travelling saxophonist Willie Best ("Drowsy") are quite fun to watch. Sadly, Niven, however charming he is, is given little to work with and for the most part comes across as a rather incompetent, hapless, character whose only purpose is to feed lines and scenes to his butler. That's a shame, as he (as per his original literal character) could have given more. It's still an enjoyable enough hour to watch, though.
