Summary:
Bright eyes: The darling of a group of aviators, Shirley splits her time between her pilot godfather Loop, and her long suffering mother, housemaid for a selfish, wealthy family. Heidi: When her aunt tires of caring for her, orphan Heidi is taken into the Swiss mountains to live with her gruff grandfather (Hersholt), a hermit who comes to adore her. But the aunt returns to steal Heidi away, selling her to a family whose invalid daughter (Jones) needs a companion. Bullied by an evil governess (Nash), Heidi still charms the entire household and never stops trying to return to her beloved grandfather.
