Output (English): 5 yearold Shirley Blake Shirley Temple and her mother, Mary Lois Wilson, a maid, live in the home of her employers, the rich and meanspirited Smythe family, Anita Dorothy Christy, J. Wellington Theodore von Eltz, and Joy Jane Withers. Shirleys aviator father died in an airplane crash before the film opens, and she now spends most of her time at the Glendale, California airport with her godfather, bachelor pilot James Loop Merritt James Dunn, and his dog, Rags.note 1 After Christmas morning she hitches a ride to the airport. The aviators bring her aboard a ship and taxi her around the runways, where she serenades them with her rendition of On the Good Ship Lollipop Mary is killed in a traffic accident. When Loop hears about this he takes Shirley up in an airplane, explains that she is in Heaven, and that her mother is also there. When the Smythes learn of Marys death they make plans to send Shirley to an orphanage. However, Uncle Ned Charles Sellon, the cranky, wheelchairbound patriarch of the Smythes, is fond of little Bright Eyes as he calls her and insists that she remain in the house. His relatives grudgingly comply with his wishes, although they make her feel unwelcome. A custody battle for her ensues between Loop and Uncle Ned. In order to raise attorney fees, Loop reluctantly accepts a lucrative contract to deliver an item by plane, crosscountry to New York during a dangerous storm. Unbeknown to him, little Shirley had left the Smythes home, found his airplane at the airport, and stowed away inside. When their plane loses control in the storm in the wilderness, they parachute to ground together and are eventually rescued safely. The impasse over custody is resolved when Loop, his fiancee, Adele Judith Allen, Uncle Ned, and Shirley all decide to live together.
