Little Miss Temple plays the role
of a little orphaned waif adrift in
China, a victim of the bandits. She
becomes an unwitting stowaway on
a cruise liner on which Robert
Young, a bored millionaire, Alice
Faye, and the latter's mother-in-
law-to-be are traveling.
Shirley brings Alice and Young
together, much to the chagrin of the

him. When Chinese authorities
threaten to take Shirley away from
Young’s guardianship because he is

Alice agrees to marry him — in

Reno for a divorce from Young, but
he follows and, with Shirley show-
ing the way, they realize that they
are truly in love and decide to stay
married, with Shirley making a
third member of the family for a
happy fade-out.
