Ruggles of Red Gap

In Ruggles of Red Gap, Lord Burnstead gambles away his eminently correct English butler, Marmaduke Ruggles. Ruggles' new 'owners', crude nouveau riche Americans Egbert and Effie Floud, bring Ruggles back to Red Gap, Washington, a remote Western boomtown. When the butler is mistaken for a wealthy Englishman, he becomes a small-town celebrity. As Ruggles attempts to adjust to this rough new community, he learns to live life on his own terms, achieving a fulfilling independence as a result.
