Editorial Review:
THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG: Head for cover! Don Knotts and Tim Conway are Wild West outlaws who can't hit the broad side of a barn -- but never miss when it comes to rounding up laughs! The hilarity begins when a roving bachelor (Bill Bixby) inherits three young orphans and a wealth of problems. When the youngsters stumble upon a huge golden nugget, they must fend off the greedy townspeople. So the kids join forces with the bumbling outlaws to stage a robbery of the gold. Little do they know a surly gang of sharpshooters plans to beat them to the draw! If you're aiming for fun, saddle up and head out with THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG HE APPLE DUMPLING GANG RIDES AGAIN:There's more trouble afoot as The Apple Dumpling Gang (Don Knotts and Tim Conway) can't stop causing trouble -- and laughs -- even when they give up their life of crime! First the ditsy duo is accused of bank robbery as they try to deposit a check. Then they join the U.S. Cavalry and wind up in the stockade for inadvertently blowing up their fort. Although they escape this mess, the witless team who could never shoot straight still can't seem to succeed in going straight. It's riotous, raucous fun as THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG RIDES AGAIN

apple dumpling gang
2009-04-03 - This is a really funny movie. I got them last year for my dad for Christmas and when my husband found out I had to order one for him also.
A great DVD set
2009-01-23 - This great DVD package combines two of Disney's classic movies - The Apple Dumpling Gang and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again. The movies document the careers of Amos Tucker (played by Tim Conway) and Theodore Ogelvie (Don Knotts), two of the most incompetent outlaws to ride the Old West.
In The Apple Dumpling Gang, cardsharp and conman Russel Donovan (Bill Bixby) is conned into taking on three children. But, when they involve Amos and Theodore in his life, things quickly go from bad to worse.
In The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again, Amos and Theodore come out of retirement, right in time to fall afoul of Marshal Woolly Bill Hitchcock (Kenneth Mars), who is determined to stop the Apple Dumpling Gang dead in its tracks...literally. So, where can they hide?
Overall, I found these to be two great movies. The Apple Dumpling Gang has a better defined plot, and Bill Bixby and Susan Clark do an excellent job of providing a romantic, if not entirely serious, side to the movie. The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again is indeed more slapstick - Don Knotts and Tim Conway stole the first movie, and as such they are given free rein in this one - perhaps too much, as the movie does seem to have a much less cohesive plot than the first.
But, no matter how you slice it, this is a great DVD set, one that is sure to please the family. As a matter of fact, beyond the two movies there is a great Goofy cartoon - Two Gun Goofy. Yeah, this is a great DVD set, one that should be in the library of every family with young one around...or even those just young at heart. My family and I really enjoyed this set, and we highly recommend it to you and your family.
