When eleven-year-old prodigy Artie Geller joins a group of six campers on a tour across the U.S.A., he uses the tour and his scheming mind to make incredible sums of money in every state his group visits. In New York, Artie earns hundreds of dollars selling jars of "attack jelly". In Washington D.C., he starts a gambling ring which cleans out the wallets of senators and congressmen. In Colorado, an abandoned pretzel factory provides the perfect location for a one-night exclusive disco that nets Artie a fortune. But when Artie's tour group lands in Las Vegas, his money-making schemes may have finally gone too far when he finds himself on the run from the F.B.I! | ||
