His mum (Patricia Hayes) has left some supplies for him in the cattle shed on the farm leading the kids to head off on the moors to find out whats going on. They soon get lost in the mists, encountering a wild dog (who is soon tamed by a bit of chocolate), marshes and of course the convict...
A fun little film with a straightforward characters and story. Louise uses her pocket calculator at various parts of the film to make calculations and it ends up becoming a vital plot point of course.
