Toby (1970)

Ten-year old Toby moves with his family from New York to a small town in Connecticut. There he vainly attempts to makes friends but experiences difficulty adjusting to his new environment. With his remarkable intellect but ineptitude on the softball field, he quickly becomes the target of local bullies. Ultimately, he turns the tables on his aggressors by daring them to spend the night in an allegedly haunted house.
