Adventure of the Treasure Boys
Brothers Tony and Vinny live in a small town in Idaho. They grew up hearing stories from their grandfather, about "Uncle Davey" and the treasure he supposedly buried in Grandpa's forest 20 years ago. Armed with a set of clues left behind by Uncle Davey, the brothers set out with the help of their friends to find the treasure. Alone in the spooky woods at night, the kids find out it's not that simple and soon discover they are not alone; apparently the Mafia, whom Uncle Davey won the treasure from in a bet, finds out and sends two Chicago mobsters to collect the long lost loot. The mobsters think it will be an easy job, but Tony and Vinny aren't about to let the two gangsters steal their Uncle Davey's Gold. While Tony and his "girlfriends" search for the treasure, Vinny & his warriors go to battle using home made booby traps and surprises to fight the intruders. Will Tony and his girls find the treasure? Will the mobsters defeat the kids and get the treasure?

The Brave One
The Brave One is a bull named Gitano (Gypsy). A Mexican boy, Michael Ray, "adopts" Gitano after saving the animal's life during a storm. The friendship between bull and boy is threatened when Gitano's legal owners claim the animal and ship him off to the bullring. Moved by the boy's plight, the President of Mexico signs a "pardon" for Gitano--but not soon enough to prevent the bull's appearance at the Plaze de Mexico at Mexico City, where he faces top matador Fermin Rivera. Based on a true incident, the film earned a "best story" Academy Award for one Robert Rich--who, much to the embarrassment of the Academy (and the delight of civil libertarians), turned out to be blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.

Christmas in the City
Divorced for five years, single mom Wendy Carroll operates Carroll's Candy Shop, her late father's candy store in the small town of Quinton. She holds onto the store for dear life, for her mother Meg Carroll's sake, for the one tangible thing she has left of her now deceased father, and to preserve the only life she has ever known in Quinton - but now the bank has sent a letter of foreclosure on the business. It being early in the Christmas season, Wendy, with her young daughter Grace Carroll, moves to Los Angeles until Christmas, staying with her hometown friend Angie (who moved there to pursue a musical theater career) to find a seasonal job to earn enough money to stave off the business going under. Angie is able to get Wendy's foot in the door at Wolman's Department Store, where she has her day job. Run by its founder Harry Wolman and his nephew Tom, Wolman's is an old-fashioned business built on family values, treating staff truly like members of their family. Wendy is quickly hired while Grace spends her days in the in-store day care center. Much of the Wolman family's values are under the gun as it is not doing well financially. Its Board of Directors has hired retail consultant Teanna Musk for the Christmas season to turn the store's financial fortunes around. Nicknamed Cruella by the store's staff, Teanna has no sentiment toward traditional Christmas values, only looking at the bottom line. Beyond being a directive by the Board, Tom feels he has to abide by Teanna's decisions because she also holds the purse strings for a much needed investor. No one is aware that Teanna has ulterior motives, landing Tom as her man en route to pulling off a corporate take-over. As such, she has to get rid of Wendy, for whom Tom seems to have eyes (and visa versa). But as much as Wendy likes Tom, she isn't sure if she is willing to give up her Quinton life for the prospect of romance.
