Cry Wolf has become an all-purpose movie title, used for virtually everything but a retelling of the original "cry wolf" story. This 58-minute British programmer breaks tradition by returning to the source. Little Anthony Kemp is a boy giving to elaborate lies. When he overhears a plot to kidnap the prime minister, no one believes him. The boy tries to quash the plot himself, and nearly ends up as wolf-bait.
