Problem Child
“Attila the Hun. Ivan the Terrible. Al Capone. They were all seven once.”
Ben Healy and his social climbing wife Flo adopt fun-loving seven year old Junior. But they soon discover he's a little monster as he turns a camping trip, a birthday party and even a baseball game into comic nightmares.
