Publisher's Synopsis
When Lord Emsworth absent-mindedly wanders off with a specimen from J. Preston Peters' prized Egyptian scarab collection, the American millionaire is willing to pay five thousand dollars to the person who can get it back for him. Discretion is necessary, however, since Peters' daughter Aline is engaged to Emsworth's son George. Joan Valentine and Ashe Marson both decide to go after the reward - she as Aline Peters' lady's maid, and he as Mr. Peters' valet - and they all end up at Blandings Castle. But is it possible for anyone to steal back the scarab with the Efficient Baxter ever vigilant?
