Plot
Aunt Agatha wants to pack her wayward nephews Claude and Eustace Wooster off to Africa but both have fallen in love with a singer at a nightclub Bertie took them to the night before, and sneak back from the docks to Bertie's place to pursue her. Bertie wants to marry the portrait painter Gwladys Pendlebury. Aunt Agatha dislikes her portrait painting by Gwladys Pendlebury. Her portrait painting is used by the soup manufacturer Slingsby's Superb Soup as "Granny's Favorite" SLINGSBY'S Olde Englyshe Cock-a-Leekie Soup. Bertie's efforts to help Tuppy end in a disaster and Aunt Agatha ends up as a laughing stock, and looking for the cause, blames Bertie.
