Movie Info

Though she owns a large estate and is herself a noblewoman, Lady St. Edmund (Helen Hayes) is anything but rich. Indeed, if she cannot raise the money needed to pay taxes on the estate, she and the large crew of orphans she has taken in will be thrown out. Legend has it that one of her ancestors, a pirate, hid a substantial treasure in gold coins somewhere in the mansion. Lady St. Edmund has not lost sight of the legend, but neither has she found the coins. With the willing help of her children

Old-school Disney treasure hunt is fun but dated.

This one holds great memories for me. I love the cartoon that was either at the end or beginning too.

I remember when I first saw this movie on the Disney channel. I was so young! I just watched it a few years back and still find it an adorable film. Jodie Foster was so young in this!!
