PROBLEM: Fact1: Nazi secret agent is spreading anti-American pro-Japanese propaganda among native Filipinos, Fact2: spy had posed as religious pacifist, Fact3: Bailey had earlier trained to retirement from Corps, Fact4: Marine forces blow up vital bridge halting Japanese ground advance, Fact5: daughter now accepts medal as entire base 's assembled corps passes in review

SOLUTION: Having being stationed in the Philippines as a member of the United States Marine Corps, NCO Sgt. Maj. William Bailey Beery is retired after having served there for 30 years. This happens several months prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and their laying siege to large areas of the South Pacific. When the Japanese invade the Philippines, Bailey confronts and strangles a Nazi secret agent, who is now spreading antiAmerican, proJapanese propaganda among the native Filipinos. The spy had posed as a religious pacifist up until a devastating Japanese air bombing attack caused many casualties among the unarmed civilians that Bailey, his wife, and daughter Maxwell had been living among. Bailey then takes command of the local Filipino militia that he had earlier trained just prior to his retirement from the Corps. They fight a series of delaying actions against a Japanese ground invasion force, slowing their attack, while waiting for the U.S. Marine island forces to arrive and counterattack. Later, after much fighting, while wearing his one time dress blues uniform jacket, Bailey takes out an enemy machine gun emplacement while Marine forces blow up a vital bridge, halting the Japanese ground advance. Sgt. Major Bailey is suddenly killed by an aerial bombing attack shortly after his heroic delaying actions have succeeded. The Japanese eventually go on to capture the Philippines. Sometime later, at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, CA, Sgt. Major Bailey is posthumously awarded, by his former commander in the Philippines, the corps highest medal for valor. His daughter, now a Marine sergeant, gratefully accepts the medal for her late father, as the entire bases assembled corps passes in review.

PROBLEM: Fact1: young boy fell Frantic to find them behind crates, Fact2: Ali 's family lives in poor South Tehran neighbourhood, Fact3: landlord argues with Ali 's mother, Fact4: Ali begs her not to tell mother, Fact5: Ali 's father scolds him night

SOLUTION: The film starts with Ali fetching his little sister Zahras pink shoes after a cobbler has repaired them. He leaves them unattended to buy some potatoes. While he is preoccupied, a homeless man picks up the shoes, hidden in a bag, thinking it was garbage and takes them away. Frantic to find them, the young boy, thinking the shoes fell behind the crates, knocks over plates of vegetables and is chased away by the grocer. Alis family lives in a poor South Tehran neighbourhood, and are having financial trouble, so he fears to tell his parents about the mishap. The landlord argues with Alis mother because she is five months behind on the rent, and the grocer has not been paid in a while either. Ali tells Zahra about the shoes and begs her not to tell their mother; she agrees. That night, Alis father scolds him for not helping his ill mother when she asked. While the siblings were doing their homework, they passed notes to each other discussing what to do. They devise a scheme to share Alis Converse sneakers: Zahra will wear them to school in the morning and return them to Ali at midday so he can attend afternoon classes. Ali does well on a test and his teacher awards him a goldcolored pen with the others in his class that got good grades; he gives it to Zahra to partially make up for losing her shoes. However, the uncomfortable arrangement between him and his sister leads to Ali being late three times in a row, no matter how hard he runs; the first time the principal ignores him, the second time he gives him a warning, the third time he tells Ali to leave and return with his father who is at work trying to make money. Alis teacher, noticing Alis tears, persuades the principal that Ali is at the top of his class and to give the boy one more chance and let him back into class. One day, Zahra notices her missing pink shoes on another student, Royas, feet. After class, Zahra secretly follows Roya home. She later brings Ali with her for a confrontation, but from hiding, they discover that Royas father, the garbageman, is blind, so they decide to leave. When Roya does well in her studies, her father buys her new blue shoes and throws away Zahras. Zahra is dismayed when she finds out from her new friend. Alis father, anxious to earn more money, borrows some gardening equipment and heads off with Ali to the rich suburbs of North Tehran to find some gardening work. They try many places without success, though Ali proves to be a great help to his tonguetied father. Finally, they come upon a mansion in which a sixyearold boy named Alireza lives under the care of his grandfather. While Ali plays with Alireza, his father works. When he is finished, Alis father is surprised and elated by how generous the grandfather is. On the way home, Ali mentions in passing that Zahra could use a new pair of shoes; his father says that new shoes for his children is a good idea, however, their elation is short lived as their bicycles brakes fail and the father is injured in the resulting crash. Finally, Ali learns of a highprofile childrens 4 kilometer footrace involving many schools; the third prize is one week at a vacation camp and a pair of sneakers. Ali sees this as his chance to earn a new pair of shoes for Zahra. To his bitter disappointment, in a hardfought dash to the finish, he accidentally places first instead. Ali returns home where Zahra is waiting for him. However, before he can reveal to his sister his disappointment in his placement in the race, she is called away by their mother. In a separate scene, there is a quick shot of the childrens fathers bicycle as hes riding home, showing a pair of white and a pair of pink shoes among his purchases. In the final shot, Ali is dejected as his sneakers are torn from the race—he is then shown dipping his bare blistered feet in a pool. Some versions include an epilogue revealing that Ali eventually achieves success in a racing career.
