The third of the Bobby Breen movies. Quite apart from the fairly revolutionary-for its time-Amish background, familiar faces such as Charlie Ruggles or Dolores Costello can only be plusses in what is a fairly typical Breen opus. Where it verges to the left, in a major way, is the addition of child skating prodigy Irene Dare. If you were tight lipped over the exploitation of the infant Shirley Temple, well, you ain’t seen nothing. Some nice little songs, Bobby’s always professional and cheery disposition when under fire.
