"Due to financial hardships at Tawcester Towers, the Dowager Duchess has decreed that the only way the family fortune can be restored is to marry Blotto off to an American. Reluctantly, Blotto and Twinks set sail for Prohibition Chicago. Blotto feels like a condemned man: awaiting him in Illinois is wealthy heiress Mary Chapstic, the only daughter of meat-packing magnate Luther P. Chapstick III. But it's Twinks who discovers that Blotto's prospective father-in-law is up to his neck in a bootlegging operation run by the notorious Chicago mobster, Spagsy Chiaparelli. Blotto and Twinks set out to unmask the villainy of Chapstick, when a final shootout takes place among the filthy stockyards, abattoirs and caning factories of Chicago's meatpacking district; will they ever make it back to dear old Blighty again?--Back cover.

Work Description
Blotto and Twinks travel to America! Specifically, they travel to Chicago (and this would be during the Prohibition years) in the hopes of marrying Blotto off to an American heiress and thus saving Tawcester Towers from financial ruin. Thankfully, Twinks is around to nose out the dirty undertakings of the heiress's father, a meat-packing magnate and Chicago mob associate.
