It was a gem of a mystery. Alan Ladd is being framed for the murder of his wife. The children in this New England town ban together to hide him and help him find out who really murdered his wife. There were a couple parts played by child that were especially good. Two girls, Emily and Angel were very convincing without being obnoxious. While the movie was made in 1959, it still stands up. What a jewel.
