When a man buys an otter for a pet, he gets more than he bargained for as he tries to keep the animal in his bathtub. He and his pet soon find life in London is not the place for such and animal, so the two head for the coast. The man enlists the help of a local female doctor to help in the care and feeding of his beloved otter in this family feature from the writers of Born Free. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Judging by an overview of British kiddie-matinee films, one of the most popular plot lines is the "rescue at sea" gimmick. Usually, the rescuee is stranded on a tiny island, threatened by the incoming tide. Sometimes this occurs in the Channel Islands; in The Big Catch, the locale is a flyspeck isle off the coast of Scotland. The rescuers in this instance are a band of courageous Scottish children, who rush in where grownups fear to tread. At 55 minutes, The Big Catch was eminently suitable for Saturday morning exposure on American television. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
