Freddie hires a shady fixer to get the letters out of desperation. American millionaire J. Preston Peters, who is the father of Aline, extends an invitation to Freddie's father, the Earl of Emsworth, to visit his residence. Peters tries to impress Emsworth with his extensive collection of beetles while the two men chat casually there. But when Emsworth mistakenly steals Peters' most valuable beetle and puts it in his pocket, a passive-aggressive confrontation develops.Peters has suspicions about the other guy, but he is hesitant to approach him out of concern for their children's relationship. As an alternative, he posts a prize for its return, encouraging a gang of greedy thieves to take the beetle for themselves. Aline and Freddie battle to keep their engagement alive in the face of conflicting dads, a gang of robbers, a dubious fixer, and a missing beetle.
