We went to Disneyland in 1969

I am a child of Disney -- watched Uncle Walt every Sunday. All of these TV movies (i.e. The Mystery of Dracula's Castle) lit the fuse for me to become a playwright.

This one is my favorite. Took years to find a copy of it. Now it's on YouTube. Having read mysteries like the Hardy Boys, Agatha Christie and Encyclopedia Brown not to mention the author Wylly Folk St. John whose book of the same name is the inspiration for this Disney TV movie.

Only Ms. John's original Pirates story pales in comparison to what Herman Groves saw in it.

Secret passage ways, riddles to solve, a bad guy, a mysterious treasure map and a rousing conclusion.

Got kids? Sit 'em down to watch a well-written, kid friendly mystery from a by-gone era.

No kids? You watch it, you'll like it!!! Chocolate Chips cookies and milk not provided.
