Sam trikes to the city in search of doughnuts. There, he helps Mr. Bikferd collect doughnuts in a wagon and inherits the lot when his boss runs off with Pretzel Annie. Sam then rescues a "Sad Old Woman" by using the doughnuts to soak up coffee she's drowning in (don't ask). Impossibly busy line drawings with humorous details will reward older picture-book readers, adults, and fans of Stamaty's "Boox" comic strip.
