"Easter Parade" was first published in "Look" with the title "The Easter Parade Murder," and was later republished in book form as part of "And Four to Go." An Easter Parade tempts Wolfe to commit grand larceny—for an orchid, of course—and though that crime goes unpunished, the inevitable murder does not. A shifty character is hired to position himself outside a church to try and snatch an orchid corsage after Easter services, and Archie offers to photograph the proceedings with Wolfe's new camera. But murder intervenes, and the lady wearing the corsage is killed.
