Storyline
Plot Summary |
Evil Mr.Grimes keeps a ragtag bunch of orphans on his farm deep in a swamp in the American South. He forces them to work in his garden and treats them like slaves. They are watched over by the eldest, Molly. A gang in league with Mr. Grimes kidnaps Doris, the beautiful little daughter of a rich man, and hides her out on Grimes' farm, awaiting ransom. When the police close in and Mr. Grimes threatens to throw Doris into the bottomless mire, Molly must lead her little flock out through the alligator-infested swamp.

Goofs | Near the beginning when Mr. Grimes is outside the fence going through the items in the package he is delivering, he pockets the cash he finds, then reads the note pinned on the doll: "Love to my/sweet baby from/Her Mama", which is written on three lines. After the cut from the closeup on the note, Grimes is shown crushing the doll. However, the note is different; though the words are the same, they are now written on four lines: "Love to my/sweet baby/from/Her Mama." See more » |
