    Notable only for being the first appearance of Francesca Annis, this is an otherwise routine Children's Film Foundation caper. This time, three youngsters catch on to a smuggling racket taking place at the harbour of their town. Considered gadflies by the authorities, they must use their cunning and some innovative teamwork to trap their quarry. It's quite a quick-fire 50 minutes with the kids all pulling together well enough. John Stacey as their helpful "Uncle Dodds" and his pal "Tug" (Pat Crean) contribute well as the adults of the piece and it fits nicely with the general theme of these Saturday morning adventure films for children. The production is adequate, the dialogue chirpy and this film also offers us a little nostalgia for seaside living in late 1950 Britain.
