Emil and the Detectives
Directed by Peter Tewksbury
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A spirited, adventure-filled children's story about a group of young friends banding together to catch a thief and recover stolen money in 1960s Berlin.
When Emil travels by bus to Berlin to visit his family, his money is stolen by a crook who specializes in digging tunnels. While following the thief, Emil runs into Gustav, a young boy who gathers up all his friends to help Emil find the money.
