Fatty Finn

Hubert Finn is a boy of ten. Everyone calls him Fatty. He lives in Australia in the nineteen thirties. His family has little money. He knocks about with the other children in the neighbourhood. Ranged against them are Bomer and his gang. They often have to defend themselves. Fatty has something on his mind. He wants to buy a crystal radio set. He cannot afford it. He has one week to get hold of the radio. Within that week he has to raise the money. The children try all sorts of ways to do it. The film tells the world of childhood through comedy. Ben Oxenbould and Rebecca Rigg appear in the ninety one minute film, an Australian production Maurice Murphy finished in 1980.
