Remember Mat and Mandy and The Little Old Car (1952)? If you do with pleasure, you'll like this, for it's more about that California-happy family of four-Mother and Father and Mat and Mandy. This time off for a camping trip to the cool sea shore, they run into Bigger who keeps them more than company and gradually disrupts his way into their affections. Rescuing Mat and Mandy from high tide seals his future and they're delighted to have him aboard as they rattle home.
