Movie Info

Shirley Temple's first starring vehicle casts her as the button-cute daughter of ex-convict Eddie Ellison (James Dunn) and his wife Kay (Claire Trevor). Ellison and his old cellmate Larry Scott (Ray Walker) manage to land jobs as chauffeurs for a wealthy family. When a valuable string of pearls disappears, both men are fired and Eddie is accused of the crime. Incredibly, it is little Temple who manages to locate the pearls and clear her father's name. Rather slow going for the most part, Baby

A really cute movie, this is one when Shirley's still very young.

Cute Shirley Temple vehicle, as expected it is quite overly sentimental but it works in this movie. Good supporting cast and a couple of sweet musical numbers are plusses.
