Prem is a little boy who works on a sweet stall in Bombay. The money he earns pays for his passion: cinema-going. One day his favourite film star stops to buy sweets at the stall and overpays. Prem sets out to return the change, gets into the film star's house and almost lands himself in a lot of trouble. A lively, shortish story which should have a wide age appeal. It's unfortunate that many of the line drawings seem to have reproduced so badly.
