better than the first movie

in my mind this sequel is better than the first movie.i thought it was funnier,and much better paced.it's shorter,but there's more packed into it.the story is better.Tom Conway and Don Knotts reprise their roles from the first one.unfortunately Bill Bixby does not return.on the plus side,there is more comic mayhem in this one and more action in general.once again,the movie is family friendly.again,if you have nothing else to do on a lazy Sunday,you could do worse than this movie.like the first one,it's no masterpiece,and it's not supposed to be one.it is however an improvement.for me,The Apple Dumpling Gang is a 6/10
