Candy #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story follows a young woman named Candy who attempts to cheer up a depressed man by giving him flowers and arranging a surprise party with friends at his home, hoping to improve his mood after he reads newspaper headlines about a firebug arsonist being sentenced to death. In a separate sequence, Candy deals with her Auntie, who has redecorated a bedroom, leading to comic chaos when the aunt attempts to bury Candy alive in the new bedding; the situation escalates into a wild dance party. A third segment shows Candy at a bookstore where a wealthy client has given her $1,500 for used books, and she must decide whether to return the excess funds or keep them.
Detective Flatfoot Burns tracks down stolen lamps from Fatty De Light's factory, only to discover that one of them is the genuine Aladdin's lamp—complete with a genii who can grant wishes. When the crooks holding the lamps learn of its power, Burns must race to recover it before the thieves can exploit its magic, with some unexpected supernatural help along the way. It's a delightful blend of detective work and Arabian Nights mayhem that shows why this 1947 humor-mystery remains a fun read.
