Description

Originally shot in 35 mm, The Hardly Boys in Hardly Gold is a comedy action adventure written and directed by artist William Wegman, starring his well-known Weimaraners, Fay Ray, Battina, Crooky and Chundo. The Hardly family spends its summers at the Hardly Inn in Maine, where the Hardly Boys play tennis, croquet and badminton, and hunt butterflies. Following in their mother’s footsteps, the “Boys” have also become avid amateur detectives. To honour the Hardly Boys’ timely detective work last summer, Chip’s Aunt Gladiola invites them to lunch, but after a canoe trip across the lake to Aunt Gladiola’s, the “Boys” find themselves in the midst of a mysterious and evil plot masterminded by the Nurse and the Caretaker. Where’s Aunt Gladiola, what is happening at her garnet mine, and why is the town’s water supply threatened? Join the Hardly Boys in solving this most puzzling mystery…
