Directed by Philip Leacock (who was also nominated for The Jury's Grand Prize at Cannes in 1954 for this 1953 British film. Two Canadian orphans (Jon Whiteley & Vincent Winter) are starved for affection. Their cantankerous, self-absorbed grandfather (Duncan Macrae) pays very little attention to them. The boys borrow a baby so they can raise it as their very own, while the real parents--and the police--scour the countryside in search of the missing infant. Interesting to note that both Jon Whiteley & Vincent Winter won Honorary Juvenile Oscars for their perfomances.

Family drama starring Duncan Macrae. In Scotchtown, Nova Scotia, Jim MacKenzie (Macrae) is bitter over the death of his son in the Boer War. He reluctantly takes in his orphaned grandchildren, Harry (Jon Whiteley) and Davy (Vincent Winter), but forbids them to have any pets. When the boys find an abandoned baby, however, they decide to take the child in and look after it...
In this charming 1954 feature, Harry and Davy are two orphans living with their grandparents in Nova Scotia. Their autocratic grandfather gives them a 'spare the rod spoil the child' kind of upbringing. All the boys really want is a dog, all the other kids have them, but their grandfather won't let them have one. As luck would have it, the boys find a baby orphaned as they are, and decide to hide it. They then must conceal it from their grandfather while discovering the love that was missing from their lives.
