      Die Ferien von Dick, liebevoll Purzelbaum-Dick genannt, werden zu einem unvergesslichen Abenteuer, als er zu seinem Onkel Henry in die Stadt zieht, während seine Mutter krank ist. Dort trifft er auf den zauberhaften Onkel Oswald und erlebt aufregende Begegnungen mit dem Bürgermeister, einer charmanten Dame und einem skurrilen Landstreicher. Dick versorgt die Tiere in der Tierhandlung, gewinnt einen Maskenball und tritt schließlich mit Onkel Oswald auf der Bühne auf. Seine unabsichtliche Paukenschlag-Panne sorgt für Lacher und macht diese Geschichte zu einem zeitlosen Vergnügen für junge Leser.
