    Where to Watch

This Shirley Temple vehicle is a concoction of sentiment and melodrama, with the star as the daughter of a reformed crook. Eddie: James Dunn. Kay: Claire Trevor. Welch: Alan Dinehart. Flannigan: James Flavin. Trigger: Ralf Harolde. Larry: Ray Walker. Directed by Harry Lachman.

Shirley Temple plays it perfectly as the daughter of an ex-con who is trying to go straight. But a tough dick and some shady types won't leave ex-con Dunn alone. A stolen necklace ends up in Shirley's hands and her dad almost winds up back in the slammer. Vintage Temple. Forget the plot and enjoy the child star in one of her most entertaining roles.
