A combination of thriller and love story, The Blonde Hurricane centers around the race to find a priceless family jewel concealed in a statuette of Buddha that an international band of crooks are after -- and so is Miss Evelyn Weston, the Blonde Hurricane, and without her knowledge, Eddy Rancing, who is in love with her, plus a host of others. Everyone is being pursued as well as pursuing everyone else, from England to the African desert and back. Meanwhile, the humor comes pouring out of Rejtő's pen as fast and furious as it did from his famous contemporary P.G. Wodehouse.
