Barmy has assembled a group of supposed musicians to perform in blackface for his aunt's 50th-anniversary celebration. In London, Pauline is distressed as she believes a man is tailing her, prompting Bertie to be enlisted as her escort to Chuffnell Hall in her vehicle. Inevitably, they run out of fuel and must spend the night at a small inn. Chuffy remains composed when Stoker reveals the pair's overnight stay on the road, which upsets Pauline; isn't he concerned enough to be jealous of her? Stoker entices Bertie onto his yacht and confines him in a stateroom until a coerced marriage occurs; Jeeves liberates Bertie, who escapes by posing as one of the blackface musicians. Bertie, Stoker, Sir Roderick, and all of Barmy's musicians are arrested in blackface before Chuffy as the local magistrate.

Trivia:

Upon the series broadcast in the United States, several PBS affiliates opted not to air this particular episode due to scenes featuring characters in blackface, encompassing an entire minstrel musical ensemble.
