Positive, 6 September 1999
9/10
Author: ClearSky from NY

From what I remember about this Disney TV movie, it was one of my favorites at age 10. There was at least two other films dealing with the same characters and they were all based on a children's book about "Alvin Fernald."

Plenty of gadgets, mystery and small town Disney comedy.
