Candy #54
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCandy tests Ted's loyalty by slipping a fake love note into his mailbox signed by a girl named Marge Lawson, then rings his doorbell to see his reaction. When Ted calls the number on the note, Candy answers and claims to be Marge, leading Ted to believe he's been two-timing her. Meanwhile, a carnival con man named Bragg uses Ted as a patsy in a rigged game, convincing him to help with a band performance plot that goes awry when Bragg crashes a fire truck. In a separate storyline, bored at home while her mother cleans house, Candy meets a handsome plumber and deliberately causes plumbing leaks throughout the house to keep him around, but her scheme backfires when she accidentally damages the pipes herself.
Candy and her friends Ted and Orville seek seasonal work at Bimbel's department store to earn Easter money, only to find themselves caught in a comedy of errors when Candy lands in the lingerie department, Ted becomes the Easter Bunny, and Orville his helper. When scheming Cornelia Clyde sabotages Candy's post by giving away merchandise, chaos erupts—and all three teens face accusations of corporate sabotage they didn't commit. It's a wild ride through Easter sales pandemonium that leaves everyone wondering how a simple part-time job turned into such a disaster.
Will Bragg's reputation for being a musical all-star catches up with him when Inspector Flanagan asks him to fill in for a sick musician at the lodge orchestra—only Will can't actually play a note. Trapped by his own boasting, Will scrambles to escape the mess, but a fortuitous accident and a change of heart from those around him might just save him from total embarrassment in this 1955 Candy humor romp.
