A stranger came to Sparky's church. He told Sparky's dad, Mr. Paggert, he needed some boys to help carry provisions up into the mountains on a secret mission. It sounded exciting. The stranger was searching for a legendary lost gold mine and had a map which seemed to indicate exactly where the mine could be found. Sparky and his dad agreed to help the stranger carry equipment and supplies up into the mountains for his search. Nobody found a "lost" gold mine. What did happen makes this zestful animation film delightful viewing for kids. The boys demonstrate their Christian faith in times of need. They also have an opportunity to present the Gospel.

Meeting eye to eye with the ghost of Phantom Lake was not part of the planned weekend camping trip. The mystery that unfolded, however, teaches strong Christian principles to Sparky and his friends.

Children learn to trust God for strength and courage in face of danger.

Although Sparky dreams of becoming an astronaut, it is Ram and Chin who are chosen to go with their fathers on the space shuttle. Sparky is greatly disappointed, but his dad is able to show him that we can serve God best wherever He leads us, if we truly believe God wants His best for us.

Sparky and his friends are safely watching the solar laser experiments from a nearby lodge when a laser beam starts a forest fire, testing their courage and faith. When faced with death, they lead a scared friend to accept Christ.
