In the early 1900's, two hobos strike on a get-rich-quick scheme to kidnap
Andy Dorset, the overly-energetic 9-year-old son of a local banker. Little
do they suspect what they're getting themselves into... Based on the classic
story by O'Henry.
In this uproarious action-comedy, two bumbling ne'er-do-wells, Sam and Bill,
kidnap Andy Dorset, the mischievious 9-year-old son of Ambrose Dorset, a
pompous banker and civic leader. Andy is convinced by the duo that he is
involved in a madcap adventure and pretends to be Red Chief, a fierce Indian
warrior.
Andy is known for his wild imagination, so when his father receives a ransom
note for only $47.50, he thinks it's a prank. But when two dangerous con-
victs escape from prison, Andy may finally be in real danger...

Zaphod Was Heard Rambling: The latest retelling of O. Henry's 1910 classic
short story, this one sees Haley Joel Osment take the reins as the titular
character, making life, well, --interesting-- for his family and any others
This production is much more 'Prettified' and PC than its predecessors,
namely the 1977 ABC Weekend Special starring Pat Petersen, and the 1962
Russian "Delovye Lyudi" (Strictly Business) with Sergei Tikhonov. Haley
isn't nearly as violent or menacing as the other two incarnations were...
(there was also a 1959 TV production starring Teddy Rooney, Mickey Rooney's
son, but I haven't been able to locata a copy of it...)
This one is pure comedy, with a pinch of heartwarming thrown in towards the
end, and it works perfectly :)
Haley, of course, turns in a brilliant performance (I swear, that boy crawled
out of his mother's womb with a script in his hand, reciting lines!), Christ-
opher Lloyd is his usual madcap self, and I really enjoyed Alan Ruck's port-
rayal of Ambrose Dorset, Andy's (Red Chief's) father.
This is one not to be missed, folks, and I urge you to grab this DVD while
you can!
