Ray Brooks stars as a mild young Briton who becomes an overnight hero. He accomplishes this by catching a burglar in the act and trouncing the blighter soundly. Alas, Brooks' hero status is blasted to bits when it is learned that the burglar was a midget.
Touch of the Tiny Hacketts was originally filmed for British TV in 1981. It premiered in the US over the Arts cable service (later known as Arts & Entertainment) in 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
