Set against the backdrop of a comically chaotic invasion, the story features multiple armies simultaneously attacking England, creating a tumultuous scenario where the country is overwhelmed. Wodehouse cleverly parodies the invasion novel genre, subverting typical tropes and expectations. The narrative includes humorous references to notable figures such as boxer Bob Fitzsimmons and writer Edgar Wallace, adding a layer of satire to the plot. Originally published in 1909, this work showcases Wodehouse's unique wit and storytelling style.
