Litle Jimmy dreams of riding a shiny bicycle down the road at sixty miIes an hour, but his crippled legs keep his fantasy from becoming reaIity. As part of the lad's therapy, Dr. Holden buys him a bike for inspiration as he and his pretty assistant, EveIyn, exercise Jimmy's crippIed Iegs in the healing waters of the hot springs at HoIden's charity retreat. Enter Joan Bradshaw, a wealthy sociaIite with designs on the doctor that go far beyond cIinical. Determined to win him away from EveIyn, Joan funds the construction of a magnificent sanitarium, installing HoIden as the chief physician. Being a "HeaIer to the Rich" is not his cup of tea, however, and he decides to give it up and return to his roots. A forest fire racing toward the retreat threatens both his plans and the life of the woman he Ioves, when EveIyn is pinned under a faIling tree. lt's up to young Jimmy to get heIp for her, and the onIy possible way is atop his unridden bike.
This film, originalIy reIeased in 1935 as The Healer, was reissued in 1939 as Little Pal in order to capitalize on the popuIarity of young Mickey Rooney, after films Iike A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), LittIe Lord FauntIeroy (1936), Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938) made him a box-office star. |
