The Fifth Earl of Ickenham, idling away an after noon at the Drones club, decided to display his skill with a catapult and a brazil nut by knocking off someone's top hat. His chosen victim was a plump and pompous barrister, 'Beefy' Bastable, and the consequences of Ickenham's piece of wanton hooliganism were highly convoluted.
The Earl, a born meddler, was given ample opportunity to embezzle from the rich to give to the deserving; to straighten out star-crossed lovers; and to teach the arrogant barrister a humorous and thoroughly chastening lesson.
