Summary "Ukridge" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the misadventures of Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, a charming yet hopelessly impractical schemer perpetually chasing wealth through outlandish business ideas. His latest venture involves training dogs for performances, but his plans are fraught with whimsical setbacks and farcical encounters with various characters. The opening portion of the novel introduces Ukridge as a robustly optimistic character, boasting about his dreams of wealth through a "dog college" and other entrepreneurial exploits. He seeks the assistance of his longtime friend, who recounts the absurdities of Ukridge's life. His wild personality culminates in a scheme where he pinches dogs and struggles with a haughty landlord, while his unshakeable hope and tireless ambition shine through amidst continual failures. The narrative sets a tone of humor and camaraderie, establishing Wodehouse's signature style of light-hearted absurdity as Ukridge navigates through his ludicrous plans.
