     The Apple Dumpling Gang
1975  G  COMEDY  1h 40min
CAST— Bill Bixby, Susan Clark, Don Knotts, Tim Conway, David Wayne, Slim Pickens, Harry Morgan
MUSIC— Buddy Baker  DIRECTOR— Norman Tokar  BASED ON— The Apple Dumpling Gang (novel), by Jack M. Bickham

     Don Knotts and Tim Conway team up in this family friendly Western comedy. Small time gambler Bill Bixby rides into town looking for a quick buck but ends up getting more than he bargained for when he agrees to pick up a fellow’s cargo coming in on the next coach. As it turns out, the cargo is three orphans looking for a home. The kids carry the deed to a mine where they find a gigantic gold nugget which becomes the envy of the entire town, including bumbling outlaw wannabes Knotts and Conway. Though they play only supporting roles they are indeed the main attraction in this otherwise forgettable fluff.
