Lois Butler is 14, transitioning from being a tomboy to being in love. Her mother is dead, and father Bill Goodwin speaks every line like a radio announcer. Between trying to make sure he doesn't marry Rose Hobart and stopping the movie so she can sing a song -- she does a nice version of "If I Were The Only Girl In The World", it looks like a by-the-numbers movie by people who have no sense of how people behave, but have seen every Andy Hardy and Henry Aldrich movie, and have a contract with Eagle-Lion, working its way out of its PRC origins.
Despite an interesting cast that includes Irene Hervey and Hattie McDaniel, it never attempts to exceed its rote expectations, despite a script by Agnes Christine Johnston.
