We
find all the Bob-Whites and their friends, Bob and Barbara Hubbell and Ned
Schulz, from Iowa enjoying an August vacation in New York City. Their chaperone – the inimitable Miss Trask. At Kennedy International awaiting their
friends’ arrival, Trixie helps a Mexican woman connect with a flight home to
Mexico City. In payment the mysterious
woman gives Trixie a pretty straw purse, telling her to use it right away and
fore-telling good fortune will come her way. A while later Trixie buys a funny little
statue at an antique store that she declares is so ugly it’s cute. That same day, Trixie discovers a scribbled wad
of paper in the purse the fortune-telling woman was given her. They beg Miss Trask to translate what appears
to be Spanish which she does with much grace and ease. From there, an outline of the Blinking Eye
mystery is revealed and the Bob White company of friends pursues it in a frenzy
of sight-seeing and intrigue.
