Once in America, Wilmot's mother leaves for a tour of prisons for an upcoming book. She has left strict instructions to Bertie Wooster as to how to look after the very delicate Wilmot, who cannot travel with his mother as he gets ill when traveling by train.
But once out of his mother's eye, he turns from a withdrawn little man into someone who's out clubbing and getting drunk every night and yielding to the temptations of New York in a big way. Wilmot assaults a policeman whilst drunk, and is sent to prison. But his mother sees Wilmot as prisoner on her tour of prisons. Wilmot don't want that she finds out what he has done. The boy depends on Jeeves and turns to him, who is now Wilmot's surrogate guardian.
