Synopsis

Friendly neighborhood policeman Kennedy the Cop warns the gang to stay away from an old abandoned house in the neighborhood. Instead, he suggests the kids go dig for buried treasure, which they proceed to do in the basement of an old abandoned house. The house is inhabited by a homeless lunatic, who takes giddy delight in scaring the children, particularly Farina. Kennedy eventually turns up at the house to save the kids and apprehend the lunatic, but can hardly take care of himself.

Filming Locations

The actual "haunted house / old powder house" was the Minorini ranch house which was built in the 1870s by the Don Jose Arnaz, owner of Rancho Rincon de los Beyes which covered most of the present-day Beverlywood neighborhood in Los Angeles and most of present-day Culver City, California.
