This really is a sweet movie showing the love between what appears to be an old curmudgeon (Hobart Bosworth) and a young girl (Baby Peggy). They get along really well. The only parent she's even know is him and that's just fine with her. She appears to be about five years old, yet he already has her working at the lighthouse where they both reside. The curmudgeon, Jeremiah Judkins, has an enemy by the last name of Maxwell who wants to take the little girl (the title character in this movie) and would probably succeed if not for the local pastor. Judkins is an older man and when he falls asleep and fails to light the lighthouse one night, a yacht with a married couple in it runs aground. The next day, the married couple come to the lighthouse to inform Judkins there was no harm done and that they would soon be on their way. The wife of the couple (Irene Rich) spots January and learns that she is actually her late sister's child. The couple is wealthy and resides in Boston. The pastor convinces Judkins that the best thing for January was for him to give her up to the couple. He does, but all end up together and live happily ever after. I'll let you see how.
