Wodehouse writes so charmingly and Bertie behaves so, for him, logically (and in the event so wrongly) it is a wonder. He is constantly surprised by the failure of his ideas. But the ever present specter of Jeeves reminds him that everyone trusts Jeeves to have the right answer. And in the end, that is the way things turn out. The plot involves 2 pairs of would-be lovers and a French Chef but don't warrant telling because it's the sparse prose and deft turn of phrase which charms one.  This is a brilliant farce.It has translated successfully to the screen in past years.  But reading it gives you more time to appreciate the writing.
