Synopsis
“To people in Bertie Wooster's set the influence of the headmaster extends far beyond Matriculation. The memory of his rage, his admonitions, and his eccentricities persists with clinging clarity. Fortunately he usually remains well out of his ex-pupils' way. But sometimes he makes a terrifying extra-mural reappearance and disrupts the gaily uninhibited life of his former pupils.”
An adaptation of “The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy”. Sippy, the editor of the Mayfair Gazette and friend of Bertie, cannot bring himself to refuse to publish the unsuitable articles that his old headmaster inundates him with. Bertie and Jeeves have different ideas about how to help him out of this predicament.
