A sequel to "Dimanche Diller". Dimanche is living happily with her aunt - but Valburga organizes her kidnap. Again, Dimanche comes out on top, due to a combination of charm and luck. Her kidnapper, Wolfie T. Volfango, is a creation of some genius: endearing, awful, stupid and ultimately a good egg.
