Synopsis
“Bertie mistaken for a VIP at a girls' school, press-ganged into giving an impromptu talk to the little horrors, desperately searching the echoing void of his mind for a coherent thought and finally giving them some scandalous advice about how to win a sly quid.”
An adaptation of “Bertie Changes His Mind” and “Jeeves and the Kid Clementina”. After an attack of influenza, Bertie decides to have his sister and her three girls move into his flat. While vacationing in Bingley-on-Sea, him and Jeeves get entangled with a girl's school and a disastrous speech gives Bertie a change of heart.
Although Bertie's sister does not appear in the original story, she is played here by young actress and model Barbara French, twenty years Carmichael's junior.
