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.

    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.

    Shirley is adorable as ever. I love the part in the kitchen when the bad guy is tied up and he wants her to cut the ropes. He says, "Hey watch it! You're cuttin' my head off!" She responds with, "That's alright!"
