about
the movie
Aspiring reporter Kit Kittredge canâ??t resist bringing
home strays, whether itâ??s Grace, an abandoned basset hound, or Will
and Countee, a pair of young hobos willing to trade work for meals. Bright,
inquisitive and generous, Kit is a natural born leader. But her happy childhood
is abruptly interrupted when her father loses his car dealership and must leave
Cincinnati to look for work. Kit and her mother Margaret are left to manage
on their own, growing vegetables, selling eggs and even taking in an assortment
of boarders including an itinerant magician, a vivacious dance instructor on
the prowl for a husband and a zany mobile librarian. When a crime spree sweeps
Cincinnati, all signs point to the local â??hobo jungle,â? where
Will and Countee live with a group of their impoverished companions. Kit, who
always has her antennae out for a good news story, convinces her new friends
to take her to see the hobo camp for herself and writes an article that creates
a sympathetic portrait of the campâ??s residents. But when Kitâ??s
mother and their boarders become the latest victims in a string of robberies,
Kitâ??s loyalties are tested. Will is accused of the crimes and, with
all of their savings gone, the Kittredges face losing their house to foreclosure.
Determined to recover the stolen money and believing Will is innocent, Kit recruits
her friends Ruthie and Stirling to help her track down the real culprit. Together
they uncover a plot that goes far beyond Cincinnati!
