"Forty Pounds of Trouble" based on the Shirley Temple Film "Little Miss Marker" Steve McCluskey is the manager at the Villa D'Oro Hotel and Casino at Lake Tahoe. The facility actually straddles the Nevada/California border, which is a bit of a problem for Steve as he is a wanted man in California for failure to pay alimony to his ex-wife Liz McCluskey. But Steve ends up having a bigger problem when something is found abandoned at the hotel by a just departed gambler: his five year old daughter, Penny Piper. In taking care of Penny, not wanting to place her in further jeopardy while they wait for her father to return, Steve faces a bigger problem in the facility potentially losing its Nevada gaming license if she, a minor, is discovered on the property. As Steve, and his staff come to have a soft spot for Penny, risks being caught by Liz's henchmen in wanting to grant Penny her wish of a trip to Disneyland, accompanied by Chris, they travel incognito as a young family. But that façade may be something that Penny sees as reality, which can only come to pass if Steve stays out of trouble, not only with Liz's henchmen and not losing his license. Have you seen...?
