Ruggles, the impeccable English manservant of the Honourable George, learns in Paris that his master has lost him at poker to a pair of Americans from Red Gap, Washington. Carried off to the West, the valet narrates in perfect deadpan his horror at flannel shirts and overalls, his slow conversion to democratic ways, and his rise in a town that has never seen anyone like him.
