Summary "Cinderella Story" by Allen Kim Lang is a satirical science fiction narrative penned in the early 1960s. The book examines themes of identity, espionage, and the absurdity of modern institutions through the lens of a quirky banking environment. It follows the experiences of Orison McCall, a government spy tasked with uncovering the secrets of an eccentric bank that hides its operations behind a peculiar façade. In the story, Orison begins her new job at the William Howard Taft National Bank, where she finds a surreal atmosphere characterized by bizarre staff behavior, including the mandatory use of earmuffs. As she navigates her role of reading newspapers into a microphone, she becomes entangled in a conspiracy involving the bank, which is secretly operated by extraterrestrial forces led by the enigmatic Dink Gerding. Following a series of comedic and dramatic encounters with various characters, including Dink’s unhinged brother Kraft and the flamboyant Auga Vingt, Orison learns that the bank's true purpose involves counterfeiting and an imperial agenda. Ultimately, the narrative culminates in a blend of humor and intrigue as Orison grapples with her evolving feelings for Dink and the implications of their shared fate as potential rulers of a galactic empire.
