Con il duca di dunstable che cerca di rubare il suo maiale per venderlo a lord tilbury, i dispettosi church lads che campeggiano nel suo parco, sua sorella constance che lo comanda senza pietà e lavender briggs, la sua segretaria, che gli rende la vita un inferno, lord emsworth ha poco tempo per concentrarsi sull'invasione del castello di blandings da parte di un altro impostore. Ma bill bailey, alias cuthbert meriwether, si è intrufolato nel castello per stare con la sua amata, myra schoonmaker, che soggiorna lì sotto l'occhio d'aquila di lady constance, e lady constance è determinata a ostacolarlo. Alla fine la virtù sconfigge il vizio: gli amanti sono uniti, dunstable sconfitto e tilbury sconfitto, ma solo attraverso il brillante complotto di frederick, conte di ickenham, il cui più grande trionfo è quello di far sposare lady constance a un vecchio ammiratore, il padre di myra. Alla fine sono felici tutti coloro che lo meritano, nessuno più di lord emsworth che in un colpo solo si libera dalla tirannia di un duca, di una segretaria e di una sorella.

With the Duke of Dunstable trying to steal his pig to sell to Lord Tilbury, mischievous Church Lads camping in his park, his sister Constance bossing him unmercifully, and Lavender Briggs, his secretary, making life miserable, Lord Emsworth has little time to concentrate on the invasion of Blandings Castle by yet another impostor.
