OPAL’S MILLION DOLLAR DUCK COMPLETES HCT RUN OF THE SERIES

Part of this author's ever popular "Opal" series, in which the
irrepressible Opal Kronkie once again triumphs hilariously over the
forces of evil—while remaining blissfully ignorant of what her
antagonists are up to. "…an evening of high-spirited entertainment
which can be recommended with no qualms."
—Virgin Islands Daily News.

Searching for costumes for their next production, Desmond and Queenie,
the "stars" of the local summer stock company, drop by "Opal's Antique
Junque Shop." While rooting through Opal's treasures they spot a
nondescript oil painting--a still life of a dead mallard duck and an
apple--and recalling an item in the morning newspaper about an old
master which has disappeared from the local art museum, suddenly
realize that this may be the missing canvas, for which the insurance
company is offering a sizable reward. Summoning up all their acting
skills, they try to charm Opal into selling the painting for a
pittance, but she explains that she plans to give it to her friend,
Rosie, as a birthday present, whereupon the plot thickens hilariously.
Desmond and Queenie resort to everything from outrageous flattery to
knock-out drops trying to get their hands on the picture; Rosie,
however, rejects it on the grounds that it reminds her of her pet duck
(which was run over by a truck); and the plotters, much to their glee,
march off triumphantly with their prize--unaware that a later edition
of the paper carries a new item: the old master has been found, and
the canvas which disappeared was a worthless copy which the museum had
thrown out with the garbage!

of the municipal dump on the outskirts of the city. It has peeling

a rope and pulley.
