Not Great

Not much of a fan when it comes to these crime stories involving poor unfortunate street urchins. This one is made worse by the constant flamenco music on the soundtrack every time the boy appears on camera.

There are some close-ups of a cuckoo clock that seemed to be there as a kind of foreshadowing but nothing comes of that.

Manolete refers to the landlady as "an old serpent who will beat me with a stick". Later,, she calls him a "little pig" and willingly outs him to the bad guys. One of them is played by Bruce Watson who would gain infamy as the psychotic transvestite Margo in a campy Season 5 CHARLIE'S ANGELS episode.

At least the Squad all work together in this one, all three appearing in the same scenes. Julie rocks a trendy headscarf. Rhoda Morgenstern, eat your heart out! Actually Julie looks like the prototype for Mattel's 1971 Live Action Barbie. Pete and Linc perform a double takedown of the baddies at a playground.
