Poor little Bobby Breen lives on a Mennonite farm and is terrorized by his stern uncle. He eventually runs away with a local junk dealer and they live together in his shop in Philadelphia. He gets a job next door at the ice skating rink, where his singing voice leads him to some small fame and money. However, when he discovers the junk dealer is taking a large cut of his pay, he heads back home to the farm. His uncle immediately accuses him of stealing money and he sets out to prove his innocence. Early vehicle for childhood singing star Breen has too many mean spirited adult characters.
