An early Merton Park production made in the days when they were specialising in children's films before they passed the baton to the Children's Film Foundation. Dated by the young sleuths not including a girl among their number, although compensated for (SLIGHT SPOILER COMING:) by the gang of crooks being headed by a woman; and the gang don't get what later became their usual ritual humiliation of getting a dunking when foiled.
Despite the title, most of the action takes place outdoors on attractively sunlit East Anglian locations until the police arrive in their Bentleys.
