Leave it to Psmith by P.G. Wodehouse is about Ronald Psmith, the main character, and his visit to Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth. The book is filled with various plots, such as the stealing of an expensive diamond necklace, the pursuit of Eve Halladay, and a night burglary that becomes violent.

Psmith is an overconfident person and is desperate for a job. He constantly advertises his skills and the services he offers in the local newspaper. One of his advertisements catches the eye of Freddy Threepwood from Blandings. Freddy is broke and urgently needs money. He wants a thief to steal a beautiful necklace from his aunt, Lady Constance Keeble, Lord Emsworth’s sister. Psmith accepts the job to spend time with Eve, who is also after the jewelry.

Psmith pretends that he is a poet and is invited to Lord Emsworth’s to entertain Lady Constance at a party, where she plans to wear the diamond necklace. However, other people interested in the piece of jewelry get word about her plans. Psmith is pleased with his assignment because he gets to make some money and pursue Eve.
