Synopsis:

TV Stars of the 60s and 70s light up this madcap family romp. Claude Ralntree (Ron Masak - Laserblast, Ice Station Zebra) only needs money to save the family farm, marry long-time sweetheart Millie (Cheryl Miller - Clarence, The Cross-Eyed Lion; Daktari) and keep making toys for the local orphanage. Unknown to Claude, his toys have magical powers that not only delight the children, but mysteriously take control of anything with a motor-Including the local sheriff's patrol car! But Claude's problems don't stop with the furious sheriff (Joe Higgins - Flipper, Green Acres) and his bungling deputy (Stu Gilliam). A greedy landowner (Buddy Lester - Ocean's Eleven) threatens to foreclose on both Claude's farm and close the orphanage, run by kindly Sister Mary (Rose Marie - Dick Van Dyke Show). To top it all off, a mysterious stranger (Richard Deacon - Dick Van Dyke Show, The Birds) has been skulking around, spying on Claude's inventions. Car chases and pratfalls link the more tender moments, where Claude and Millie bond with a specla110-year-old orphan (Billy Hillman), and Claude assures Millie and her father (Paul Wlncheii - AristoCats, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too) that Claude's intentions are honorable. All's well that ends well when the mysterious stranger turns out to be a rep from a big toy company that wants to make Claude a rich man and help him save the orphanage. Awarded Five Doves by the Dove Foundation.

An eccentric boy genius deceives the local sheriff and turns the town upside down in this 1978 comedy.
