More DescriptionCan you strike it rich with a rooster and a collection of old baseball cards? You can, and that´s the adventure ten year old Roxy gets involved in when she makes friends with Josephine and Lillian. The two old ladies live in a ramshackle house with a dog and a yard full of cats and chickens. Roxy´s greatest wish is to keep a pony in their back yard, but her plans are crossed when Josephine falls down the steps and injures her hip.
No sooner is Josephine in the hospital, then scheming neighbors see their chance to get rid of the "messy" old ladies. Lillian is moved to a nursing home. The animals are put into an animal shelter, and Josephine, already in dept and unable to pay the bills, is forced into selling the house. Roxy tries desperately to come up with a solution, but what can she do? Lillian´s rooster Carl has the key. Carl lives under the porch, and as it turns out, he´s sitting on a hidden treasure. Roxy puts all the strings together. Her cleverness, Carl´s courage and Lillian´s valuable baseball cards save the day, turning a hopeless situation into a happy end for everyone.
