The Gem Collector
by P. G. Wodehouse
The action begins with playboy single Jimmy Pitt in New York; After falling in love with a transatlantic ship, he befriends a small robber and enters the police chief's house as a result of the bet. The cast of characters travels to England, and from there it's a typical Vaudehusian romantic comedy set in majestic Drever Castle, full of crooks, detectives, swindlers, schematic lovers and tolerant aunts.
