Mrs. Martha Daniels (Mary Astor) gets framed by her boss for fraud and sent to prison for two years. She keeps it a secret from her son Dinky (Jackie Cooper) who is attending military school. When his secret comes out at school, he decides to run away. Then, it's his turn to hide the truth from his mother.
I appreciate what the premise is trying to do, but there is no way that Marsden would agree to this. It's more likely that Marsden takes the kid into his home. For sure, he would never hide it from his mother. Better still for the story, he could stay on the road as a runaway. I'm trying to stay with this story, but it keeps bugging me. I can't drop it.
