While on holiday in the Irish village of Johnstown, a boy becomes friendly with four other children and learns of the legend of the Johnstown Monster. He then hits on the idea of making a fake monster that will attract tourists and bring prosperity to the village. The children come up with a fake that fools everyone for a short time.

  • Like BowserDragon I have a vivid memory of the song, but I haven't seen the movie since I was a kid. It's great to see that the film really does exist, and I wasn't just imagining it through a haze of nostalgia.

  • COOL! I still remember watching this episode and was so inspired by it that shortly after I got married I literally went to Ireland just to see this castle. At the time, (1977) it was not for the public, but was converted to an office of Ministry of Agriculture or something like that. Thanks for posting it.

  • You are thinking of the movie, The Private Lives of Sherlock Holmes which had a scene at Loch Ness and the monster did end up sinking....

  • If i recall right,during the filming of this...which took place at loch ness...one of the fake monsters broke loose and ended up at the bottom of the loch

  • OMG! I remember seing this on CBS Saturday morning when I was about 9 or 10. Now I'm 45, and I just remembered the phrase Johnston Monster this morning. I even remembered that song (the melody, anyway) after all these years. Thanks so much!

  • Please post the entire video!!! I've been looking for this movie for ages.  Thank you!
