Occurrence at Glen Ridge

It's not hunting season, yet someone is out hunting and shoots uncle Steve, who is with Lassie. The guy, who is the careless hunter, is mean and blames the dog for his trouble. And animal control sides with the odious Mr. Foster. Oh well, the McCulloughs stick together. And since it's a Lassie movie there has to be an escape. This movie shows how law enforcement officers can be misguided in large part because of government policy. Fortunately the animal control officer gets to help Lassie, Mr. McCullough and Will find Steve. It's a good start to a series, which deserved a wider audience and ended too soon.
