Could there be a more "Canadian" way to smuggle a fortune in stolen diamonds than inside of a hollowed out hockey puck? Well neither can I. And evidently, neither could the writers of this great little piece of Canadiana.
When a pair of bungling burglars mistakenly lose said item, it falls into the hands of two adventurous Montreal urchins. Now to get the darn thing to the proper authorities before the evil-doers can catch them. The climatic scene alone, which takes place at the old Montreal Forum arena (during a Canadiens game, no less) makes seeking out this little treasure well worth your while.
And if your kids can excuse the clothing we all wore in the 70's (god, I miss my giant afro with the black power comb with the fist on it!!!), then they're in for a well-crafted little piece of action, suspense and Saturday morning fun. It will remind them of movies like Home Alone. It will remind you of a time when the Montreal Canadiens were a Stanley Cup winning juggernaut. (Don't cry, gentle reader. It may happen again someday.)
Man, could that Guy Lafleur act....
