About

Timmy Taylor and his two friends, Stevie and Buddy capture escaped convict Carl Banks (Jim Varney) and hold him hostage in their treehouse over the weekend so that Timmy can use Carl as his current event project at school on Monday. The boys then find that Carl is mixed up in a counterfeiting ring that could spell trouble for them too.

Kidnapping a fugitive for a school project is a bizarrely hilarious premise that flips the typical crime thriller on its head. This low-budget gem trades suspense for chaotic energy as three boys try to manage a criminal in their backyard fort.
