Film Description: "Truth, loyalty and friendship are at stake and the battleground is Angel Square, a place that brings thrill and terror to the hearts of rival gangs engaged in mitt to mitt combats. Set in 1948, the story begins with a tragic attack on Tommy Doyle's best friend's father. Guided by an overwhelming sense of justice, Tommy sets out to snare the perpetrator with the help of his loyal friends. Officer Ozzie O'Driscoll is a local policeman who moonlights as Santa Claus, and has too little time to investigate the crime. A family mystery adventure about a boy whose courage, imagination and comic book hero, The Mystic, help him bring justice and romance to Angel Square. Based on the book by Brian Doyle." -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
