"There's no way I'm going to have my perfect Christmas ruined by romantic escapades, the temporary closure of the Drones Club, or relations of any kind!...So I'd better get out of here before my Aunt Agatha arrives."

Only four days to Christmas, and Bertie Wooster’s frightening Aunt Agatha has unexpectedly placed the perpetually annoying Cousin Claude in Bertie’s care. Bertie is in the midst of helping his friend Bingo navigate the intricacies of forbidden love when Claude complicates matters by falling in love with Bingo’s girl. As Bertie’s attempts to appease his aunt, chaperone his cousin, and untangle the love triangle begin to swirl out of control, only the extraordinary brain of Bertie’s capable valet Jeeves can calm the storm, right the ship, and avert a Christmas disaster. Based on the Jeeves and Wooster stories of PG Wodehouse, Happy Christmas, Jeeves is a delightful holiday romp!
