On Disney DVD for the first time, Boston proper meets the Wild West as Roddy McDowall, Suzanne Pleshette, and Karl Malden star in a fish-out-of-water comedy for everyone! To restore his family's lost wealth, a young Boston lad stows away on a ship bound for the California Gold Rush. When their very proper butler gives chase, all roads lead to nonstop adventure, wild and woolly characters, and a lucky punch that leads to a bonanza of belly laughs! You'll discover a fortune of family fun in this classic Disney film -- perfect for your collection.|This film marks Suzanne Pleshette's song-and-dance debut on the big screen. Wrote Variety: "Miss Pleshette, more often than not cast in kooky or bad-girl parts, proves (gratifyingly) that she need not be pigeonholed. Her saloon singing-dancing is a neat blend of ribaldry and dignity, which is what the part demands."|The movie is based on the 1963 book "By The Great Horn Spoon," by Albert Sidney Fleischman, which chronicled the California Gold Rush of 1849.
