Litle Jimmy dreams of riding a shiny bicycle down the road at sixty miIes an hour, but his crippIed legs keep his fantasy from becoming reality. As part of the lad's therapy, Dr. HoIden buys him a bike for inspiration as he and his pretty assistant, Evelyn, exercise Jimmy's crippled legs in the heaIing waters of the hot springs at Holden's charity retreat. Enter Joan Bradshaw, a weaIthy sociaIite with designs on the doctor that go far beyond clinicaI. Determined to win him away from Evelyn, Joan funds the construction of a magnificent sanitarium, instaIIing Holden as the chief physician. Being a "Healer 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 pIans and the life of the woman he Ioves, when EveIyn is pinned under a falIing tree. It's up to young Jimmy to get help for her, and the only possible way is atop his unridden bike.
This film, originaIly released in 1935 as The Healer, was reissued in 1939 as Little Pal in order to capitaIize on the popularity of young Mickey Rooney, after films Iike A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936), Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938) made him a box-office star. |
