“Harry” (Raynold Gideon) thinks he’s on “Candid Camera” when he leaves a diner only to hear a voice asking him to pick her up. He can’t see anyone, though, just a little toad on the ground. She entreats him to take her for an ice cream then to his home where, one kiss and… Unfortunately for him, his wife (Gail Case) returns home and his new friend has to be hidden in the cupboard and then the cistern - but not to worry, there is always tomorrow! Snag is, by the time he can rescue his new beloved next day, she has already been consigned to the pet shop by his wife. Can he find her again? It’s quite good fun, this, even if it does rather portray “Harry” as a bit fickle and disloyal. Some of his facial expressions, a jolly score that reminded me a bit of a “Pink Panther” edition and a soupçon of mischief help pass quarter of an hour quite entertainingly. I’d did wonder what might have happened if his wife had kissed the frog, too!
