In this Wonderful World of Disney presentation from 1974, "Whiz Kid" Alvin Fernald
enters an essay contest at school to win a chance to become Mayor For A Day.
While waiting to see the mayor at Riverton's City Hall to interview him about
the daily running of the city's government, he and his best pal Shoie overhear
the city treasurer discussing a crooked land deal with two other men. The boys,
along with Alvin's little sister, Daffy, set out to expose the treasurer's scheme.
This delightful mystery-comedy stars child actors Eric Shea as Alvin, Kim Richards
as his little sister, Daphne "Daffy" Fernald, and Clay O'Brien as his friend, Shoie,
plus, familiar TV actors Edward Andrews as Mayor Massey, John Fieldler as the
city treasurer, Charles Blackburn, Ted Gehring as Doyle Reager, Lonny Chapman as
Fred Benson, Maudie Prickett as Mrs. Hundley, and Judson Pratt as Sargeant O'Halloran.
