Movie description:
Ripley Hilliard is an inquisitive 13-year old. He has a brilliant analytical mind fueled by two years spent reading detective novels and crime stories while recuperating from a bad accident. He yearns to be a detective but few people will take him seriously. At school, because he is both small and very smart, he gets bullied and he is insecure about girls – particularly about Madalyne, on whom he has a major crush. When a world famous black diamond, the Star of India, is stolen from the museum where Madalyne’s father is the curator, Rip is determined to solve the crime. Not only will he then prove his skill as a detective and collect the 20,000 pounds reward but he may also impress his favorite girl. Rip is confident he can solve the crime, but what adult would believe him? If only he was a real detective and not just a kid. While researching on the jewels Rip meets Grant Logan, a down on his luck actor who dislike children and whose only claim to fame is to have played a second-string detective on television. Here is Rip’s chance for creditability – if he can persuade Grant to front for him and act as his crime-solving mouthpiece. But Grant’s not interested. He hates kids. He always refuses to work with them and anyway, how could a kid solve a crime? So Rip treats Grant to an impressive display of his detecting skills, but it takes the promise of 50 percent of the reward money before Grant finally agrees to take the case. So together, the two set out to expose the jewel thieves. They make an odd team: an insecure actor with a giant ego and a bright but vulnerable kid. But, it looks as if it might just work – until Grants starts to speak his own lines and gets the wrong man put in jail. And to make matters even worse, the wrong man turns out to be Stuart Mackey, museum curator and father of Madalyne, Rip’s heartthrob! Attempting to sort out the middle himself, Grant disguises himself as a lawyer and visits Mackey in prison to obtain further information. His clumsy investigations point him the direction of another suspect but Grant needs to learn that, without Rip, his detecting skills are sadly limited.
