Product Description

Product Description

In the sleepy village of Rudge-in-the-Vale the customary peace has been shattered by an outbreak of hostilities between Colonel Wyvern and Lester Carmody of Rudge Hall. To make matters worse, Lester's nephew John adores the Colonel's daughter Pat, and this conflict is certain to disrupt the smooth course of true love.


From the Back Cover

The peaceful slumber of the Worcester village of Rudge-in-the-Vale is about to be rudely disrupted. First there’s a bitter feud between peppery Colonel Wyvern and the Squire of Rudge Hall, rich but miserly Lester Carmody. Second, that arch-villain Chimp Twist has opened a health farm – and he and Soapy and Dolly Molloy are planning a fake burglary so Lester can diddle his insurance company. After the knockout drops are served, things get a little complicated. But will Lester’s nephew John win over his true love, Colonel Wyvern’s daughter Pat, and restore tranquillity to the idyll? It’s a close-run thing… --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugthing at Nothing?, 16 Nov 2007
This review is from: Money for Nothing (Hardcover)
`Money for Nothing' sees the return of Wodehouse's favourite crook trio, Dolly the Dip, Soap Molloy and Chimp Twist whom we met previously in `Sam the Sudden'. Soapy is of course attempting to sell shares in none existent oil wells but Ronnie Fish is convinced the only money to be made is in Night Clubs `You can fuel some of the people all of the time and you can fuel all of the people some of the time.' He tells Soapy and Lester Carmody. Soapy is thwarted in his attempts to sell to Lester as he cannot liquidate the family heir looms in order to make a sale and so they hatch a plot to arrange for the theft of the articles in question so that Lester can get `Money for Nothing'.

Matters are complicated further by Lester's nephew, Hugh Carmody attempting to secure the necessary funds to go into the nightclub business with Ronnie Fish. Also complicating matters is Lester's other nephew, John Carroll, trying to woo Pat Wyvern whos father has forbidden the match as he is engaging in a law suit with Lester.

And so John and Wodehouse have only to foil the robbers without embarrassing the family, Obtain sufficient money to allow Hugo and Ronnie to waste it in a flawed enterprise and reconcile Lester and Colonel Wyvern so they can marry. All in a days work. Fantastic.
