A group of schoolchildren come upon an alien from Venus, and help him against a gang of criminals who are trying to kidnap him.
The recipe for a successful Children’s Film Foundation production: take a peaceful rural setting and fill with an equal mix of boys and girls (two of each will suffice). Add a bunch of crooks, a gentle moral, and a chase.
For added flavour, director Tom Wells (son of H.G. Wells) spices up an old formula with a sprinkling of science-fiction in the form of a friendly alien creature. Enjoy!
