Ep 3. Pearls Mean Tears

Summoned to the seaside Bertie is subjected to the match-making plans of his awesome Aunt Agatha, who wants him to meet Aline Hemmingway, the sister of the local curate. All is not what it seems, however, and Bertie soon falls victim to the Hemmingways, who, for all their masquerade of genteel respectability, turn out to be notorious confidence tricksters. When Aunt Agatha's pearls go missing, Jeeves' suspicions are aroused and while the local constabulary is brought in to investigate, Jeeves decides to some detective work of his own. Meanwhile, Bertie happens to bump into his absent-minded chum Biffy Biffen, who bemoans the fact that he has mislaid his adored Mabel, a chorus girl to whom he recently proposed. Wooster's sympathy later turns to astonishment, when he reads of Biffy's sudden engagement to Honoria Glossop, with whom Bertie was once briefly entangled. Biffy puts his engagement down to his mournful state of mind and confesses that he would prefer not to marry Honoria. Almost immediately a solution presents itself, when, with Bertie and the Glossops, Biffy attends a new entertainment at a threatre. During the show, none other than Mabel appears on stage and to Jeeves's satisfaction and the Glossops' outrage, she and Biffy scramble into each other's arms.Includes an early appearance by Martin Clunes.
