A great movie about a boy who gets a pet dog from a local shelter. He dosn't know however, that the dog is the key to a huge amount of stolen money. His previous owner was a bank robber who stole $1 million in cash, he then buried it in a park site area called Shadow Mountain. He trained his dog to learn the smell of the cloth bags of cash, with plans to have the dog help him find it later. When the felon escapes from prison and comes after the dog, it's all the kid can do just to stay alive, let alone stop the thief.
