WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
When Mr. Donavan (Bixby) finds himself in charge of three orphans, the bachelor tries his best to get himself out of the situation he has found himself stuck in. However, when the The Apple Dumpling Gang finds gold in their dead father's mine all bets are off. A lot of people are suddenly anxious to take care of the kids, and this leads to nothing but trouble for all involved! Based on the book by Jack M. Bickham. Unfortunately, "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again" has only been released, this far, on DVD in full frame. (Tricia Littrell)

DVD Picture:
This classic movie has been given a very acceptable restoration and transfer. Though still showing signs of the film

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
