Leave it to Psmith

Psmith (the p is silent) is a man of contrasts. He is overly confident, but smart, and prone to mischief, but resourceful enough to get himself out of trouble. Down on his luck and out of a job, Psmith meets Eve Halliday in the middle of a downpour. Immediately drawn to her beauty, Psmith decides to help Eve get out of the rain.

After he borrows an umbrella from a nearby club without asking, Psmith offers it to Eve, so that she is able to finish her walk. Thankful, Eve continues to walk with Psmith. Their involvement eventually gains the attention of Eve's new boss, a wealthy and powerful man named Lord Emsworth, who, upon meeting Psmith, mistakes him for a famous poet. Realizing that such an identity would gain him an invitation to Blandings Castle, where he could spend time with Eve, Psmith decides not to correct Lord Emsworth.

During the party at Blandings Castle, Psmith is asked to make a speech and recite a poem. Though as a man well-versed in malarkey, Psmith can navigate himself out of the problem. However, when he realizes that his impersonations have led him to an unintentional involvement in a jewellery heist, the night unfolds issues that he never could have predicted.
