Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Freewheeling young wanderer Jerry Day and his beautiful wife Toni are at odds over their lifestyle: Jerry can't accept responsibility, but Toni yearns for a family and a settled life. Then the Days 'rediscover' Jerry's young daughter Penny, who has been living with his deceased wife's rich family. Penny appears to be just what Jerry needs to mend his swindling ways and live a straight life. Despite the responsibility of his new family, Jerry is swayed by the corruptible influence of jewelry thief Felix Evans. Evans lures Jerry into a job that puts at risk the continuation of his new family life.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Shirley Temple memorized every line of dialogue in this movie, and whenever Gary Cooper forgot or fumbled his lines, Temple prompted him, much to Cooper's annoyance. See more » |
| Goofs | When Penny asks Jerry for his name, she mouths his answer at the same time he says it. Shirley Temple probably did this to stay synchronized for her next line. See more » |

| Quotes |
Jerry Day:
Toni, don't get one thing wrong. I still love you. Toni Carstairs Day: You don't need to say anything because there isn't anything left to say. If you'd even told me - but lying. You've lost your size, Jerry, and I could never chase trains with a little man. Jerry Day: Toni, I do love you. Toni Carstairs Day: That's very sweet, but I'm afraid we've missed the train.
