Fleeing from the twin horrors of prospective marriage and the baleful Aunt Agatha, Bertie sails to New York with Jeeves, where he hopes to lie low but instead he is charged with minding the ultra-shy mother's boy Wilmot, son of Lady Malvern, and showing him the high life. Oddly enough Wilmot takes only too well to the night-spots of Manhattan, wearing Bertie out in the process. Tuppy Glossop also arrives, to talk about car exportation with wealthy businessman Mr. Stoker. Unfortunately Tupper's business plan is nowhere near as lofty as it should be.
剧情介绍：
依据世界级英裔美籍著名幽默作家P.G.Wodehouse的系列作品改写，编剧Clive Exton同时也是ITV拳头剧《大侦探波罗》(Poirot)系列的主力编剧。主演史蒂芬·弗莱(Stephen Fry)和休·劳瑞(Hugh Laurie)均为剑桥出身，与爱玛·汤普森(Emma Thompson)等当年同在剑桥Footlights扮演俱乐部上演(Monty Python次要成员也出身于此)，两人均多才多艺，剑桥之后在电影、电视、播送范畴常年协作。国际观众对这两位的印象能够次要来自Richard Curtis/Ben Elton编剧、罗温·艾金森(Rowan Atkinson)主演的《黑爵士》(Blackadder)系列。小说作者P.G. Wodehouse，通译沃德豪斯(1881-1975)，英国小说家和悲剧作家。以塑造“绅士中的绅士”Jeeves这一抽象而出名，1955年入美国籍。《万能管家》中的配角是恍恍惚惚的英国绅士Bertie Wooster （其实就是个250）和他的聪明迟钝、把戏百出的男仆Jeeves，简直每一个故事都是由主人荒唐的行为转变成不可拾掇的窘境，但是最初总是由男仆出其不意的机智处理。
