No unauthorised reproduction is permitted 1: "The Code Of The Woosters (1)" (14 Apr 91) Aunt Dahlia tells Bertie to visit an antique dealer so that he can cast doubt on the authenticity of a silver cow creamer jug. She wants the dealer to reduce the price so that Uncle Tom can buy it more cheaply. Bertie makes a mess of things and Sir Watkyn Bassett buys the jug. Aunt Dahlia wants Bertie to go to Totleigh Towers to steal the cow creamer. Bertie also receives a telegram from Gussie to say that he and Madeleine have fallen out. Jeeves and Wooster set off for Totleigh Towers later that day. Roderick Spode suspects that Bertie is after the cow creamer. He threatens to beat Bertie "to a jelly" if anything happens to the item in question. Jeeves discovers a secret concerning Roderick Spode, which Bertie is able to use to his advantage. Madeline's cousin Stiffy wants to marry penniless curate Harold 'Stinker' Pinker. She tells Bertie that he must steal the cow creamer so that Stinker can recover it and make a good impression with Sir Watkyn. Bertie refuses to become involved. Aunt Dahlia, tiring of Bertie's excuses for not stealing the cow creamer, visits Totleigh Towers and steals it herself.

Then he loses the notebook and Stiffy finds it. She refuses to return it unless Jeeves comes up with a way to make her guardian (Sir Watkyn) agree to her marrying Stinker. Gussie goes to Stiffy's room to try to get his notebook back. Madeline catches him with Stiffy and jumps to the wromg conclusion. She breaks off her engagement and announces that she's going to marry Bertie instead. Jeeves suggests that Bertie tells Sir Watkyn that he plans to marry Stiffy. The lady in question would then tell her guardian that she would rather marry Stinker. Sir Watkyn would be so relieved that he wasn't getting Bertie as a 'nephew-in-law' that he'd agree to Stiffy marrying Stinker. When Bertie puts the plan into operation, however, Sir Watkyn says that he's delighted that Bertie wants to marry his niece rather than his daughter. Stiffy shows Gussie's notebook to Roderick Spode, who goes looking for Gussie. Bertie uses Spode's secret against him once again to save Gussie from a beating. He recovers the notebook from Spode and returns it to Gussie, who takes it to Madeline and explains why he was in Stiffy's room. They are reconciled. Then Sir Watkyn finds some of Gussie's newts in his bath-tub and the wedding is 'off' again. Stiffy talks Stinker into stealing the local policeman's helmet . She hides it in Bertie's room and then tells the constable where it is. Bertie is arrested and ends up in a cell in the local police station. Sir Watkyn decides that he doesn't want Bertie to marry Stiffy, so he agrees to let her marry Stinker. Jeeves blackmails Roderick Spode into saying that he stole the policeman's helmet.

Bertie rallies around in an attempt to help Biffy extricate himself, with little success. Then Jeeves suggests that Bertie takes Biffy and the Glossops to see a show called "Woof, Woof!".
