Candy #33
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCandy helps a detective named Effie investigate a crime by searching for a man found dead in a dress rehearsal costume. After finding the body, Candy and Effie work to gather clues and check alibis from the suspects. While investigating at home, Candy accidentally breaks her mother's antique mirror and tries to conceal the damage. The story concludes with Candy and her friend Trish collecting money for the "Ted Dawson Fiftieth Campaign" at a local sweet shoppe, where Candy suggests buying Ted a gift with the collected funds.
Candy thinks she's struck it rich when a Hollywood scout offers her and her father movie contracts for a picture called "Teen for a Day"—but Ted Dawson smells a scam and warns them about phoney talent scouts running swindling schemes. When the so-called Mr. Flicker shows up to collect, Candy's father is ready to throw some punches, only to discover the "talent scout" is actually a wanted con artist with a familiar face.
When Ted arrives at Candy O'Connor's place with what he claims is a wonderful surprise, a series of mishaps unfolds as he attempts to cover up one disaster after another—each solution creating a bigger problem than the last. Just when the chaos reaches a fever pitch, Candy wakes to discover it was all a nightmare, only to find Ted at her door with yet another "surprise" in store. A hilarious romp through a teen romance gone hilariously wrong, "Odd Appreciation" proves that sometimes the best intentions lead to the absolute worst outcomes.
Candy and Trish scheme to find the perfect gift for Ted Dawson, who's stuck in bed with a cold after walking home in the rain from Candy's house—and she's determined to make it up to him. When money and store-bought options fail, the girls attempt a shortcut that lands them in hot water with Officer Murphy, leading to an unexpected courtroom showdown. What starts as a sweet gesture spirals into a comedy of errors that neither Candy nor Trish quite anticipated.
