Mrs. Gimble's peg-leg cat, Tom, is taken for a hat, and a ride atop her rascally roving brother's bald head, in this hilarious tale of mistaken identity.
Lizzie Firkin's house is a mess. The cat sleeps in the breadbin and cobwebs cling to the curtains.

The Haunting of Barney Palmer is a fantasy film for children about a young boy who is haunted by his great uncle. Young Barney fears that he has inherited the Scholar family curse; a suite of 80s-era effects ramp up the supernatural suspense. The film was a co-production between PBS (United States) and Wellington's Gibson Group, which resulted in Ned Beatty (Deliverance, Network) being cast. It was written by Margaret Mahy, based on her Carnegie Award-winning novel The Haunting, and an early fruitful collaboration between her and director Yvonne Mackay.
