Synopsis:
A thief robs a candy factory, stealing only candy. Air Wave tries to catch the crook, but the thief eludes him. The son of the factory owner presents a hair-brained idea as to the thief's motive. Rather than follow up on the kid's idea, Air Wave begins questioning factory employees. He eventually finds that the crook has hidden some stolen emeralds in a candy box and is trying to locate them. Air Wave exposes the crooks and recovers the missing jewels.
