Neighborhood Abduction Caper
19 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In this silly trifle, a perky mom and busy body named Maddie Monroe, puts on her thinking cap to investigate the kidnappings occurring in her neighborhood.

Maddie is also a dancer, and the action invariably returns to a local dance studio where Maddie and her pilot husband go to do the salsa, the tango, and the cha-cha. The establishment is run by the dynamic dancer Roman, who figures prominently in the caper.

The sleuth is assisted by the homicide detective Rob, as well as two other detectives. We come to know the neighbors, some of whom were victims of the kidnappers, such as the pediatrician "Doc" Korda and his wife Harriet. A false lead points to the tag team partners of Nick Cotten and Heather Douglas as the perps.

However, all roads eventually lead to the dance hall where a lively competition will take place. All in all, the film was a moderately slow paced, yet light action film with the inspector mom in the spotlight. Maddie's motto might be: "Keep your eyes open, and watch your back!"
