An elderly woman (Maria Ouspenskaya) and her husband are on the verge of eviction, and seek the advice of Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) on how to keep their home. Hardy is led to believe the couple had a daughter who can help them in their predicament, but he needs to find her first. The judge tasks his son, Andy (Mickey Rooney), with the search, which leads to some unfortunate events for the boy -- although Andy's problems seem less important when Mrs. Hardy (Fay Holden) falls ill.
