Sergeant Flaxman (Chips Rafferty) keeps a keen eye on the rapscallion and promises to award him a brand new .22 rifle if he stays out of trouble. Smiley of course scoots around in his mad-cap daily life desperately trying to keep his word\, but eventually getting accused of stealing gold from little old granny McKinley (Sybil Thorndike).  Filmed over an eight week period towards the end of 1957\, shooting took place at Camden and then Pagewood Studios in Sydney.  Have a walk down memory lane to a time when a Christmas present for a kid could be a .22 rifle! Roadshow. 								\n				\n									\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n									Australia\, 1958\, 90 min.
