☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe lead story follows Candy as she meets her rich uncle and learns of a substantial inheritance, but an older cousin named Dracula appears jealous of her newfound wealth and threatens to cause trouble. When Candy befriends a girl named Drucilla, she must apologize for prior rudeness and reassures her of their friendship. A subsequent sequence shows Candy introducing Drucilla to her cousin Eric, then stopping to make a phone call to inform the police that Eric has gotten into trouble, before riding off in a car with friends. The second story, "Tabby," features a young woman attending a big dance where Tabby Hyatt and his High Hatters band perform, with the band attempting to play a "Marshmallow Mood" number with bouncing marshmallows as part of the act.
When Jonesy hears that the new girl Drucilla has inherited millions from her uncle, he suddenly becomes her most devoted admirer—even proposing with an engagement ring to get closer to the fortune. But when he finally gets to see the inheritance with the help of attorney Mr. Habeus, Jonesy discovers the "two million" refers not to dollars, but to something far less valuable. A sharp little reminder that chasing money for the wrong reasons tends to backfire in the most embarrassing ways.
When Candy O'Connor promises to sacrifice her Saturday plans so her parents Tim and Agnes can enjoy themselves, she stays home to tackle housework and cook dinner—but her parents' day out turns into a comedy of chaos at an auction and on the golf course. Meanwhile, Candy's own afternoon takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Ted Dawson's look-alike cousin Eric at the train station, setting off a misunderstanding that could torpedo her romance. What starts as a sweet gesture of sacrifice spirals into a tangled mess of crossed wires and mistaken intentions.
When Tabby Hyatt and his High Hatters prepare for a big school dance, Philip Smedley spots his chance to sabotage the band so he can monopolize time with Taffy O'Toole—and he sneaks into the music room to scramble their sheet music into chaos. But when the band takes the stage with Smedley's mangled arrangements, something unexpected happens that turns the night on its head and lands the drummer in a situation he never bargained for.
