This is one of Disney's finest, from the days when they were known for great family movies. Don Knotts and Tim Conway are in full form as the bumbling and not very scary bad guys. The main character, "Donovan," played by Bill Bixby (remember The Magician?) wins a "valuable package" in a poker game. This turns out to be a big swindle just to dump some orphans on him. For a "tough guy," it's tougher to handle a bunch of kids. This movie is great "G" rated fun. I'm not sure what movie "farnum" is talking about, but it couldn't have been this one. Go watch this one again with some kids! Good, family friendly, "G" movies are in the minority, and this one's at the top of the pack.
