Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

Rebecca and her stepfather Henry attend the Little Miss America contest, hoping a win will launch her singing career. The crowd watches as the first entrants falter—one has an unappealing voice, another is silenced by mic fright—setting the stage for Rebecca's moment. Henry quietly schemes to help Rebecca stand out.

Henry tries to charm the station's receptionist to smooth Rebecca's path to the stage. Tony Kent, the ad executive, hears Rebecca sing on the radio and is immediately struck by her talent. However, Henry's confidence is not shared by everyone, and tension begins to simmer.

Tony tells his assistant Orville that he has found the contestant he wants. Misunderstanding Tony's meaning, Orville sends Rebecca and Henry away, thinking they will ruin the audition. The misinterpretation triggers the first big obstacle Rebecca must overcome.

Henry and Rebecca are evicted for nonpayment of rent and move to Aunt Miranda's Sunnybrook Farm. The abrupt relocation takes Rebecca from the city into a pastoral setting she soon comes to love. The change marks the start of a new chapter in her life.

Rebecca is introduced to Aunt Miranda and her cousin Gwen at Sunnybrook Farm. She discovers a sense of belonging there and decides she never wants to leave. The farm's rhythms begin to shape her dreams.

A new neighbor turns out to be Tony Kent, though neither recognizes the other yet. Tony is also involved with singer Lola Lee, adding a layer of romantic tension. The two form an easy friendship without knowing their future connection to Rebecca's career.

Rebecca and Gwen visit Tony for lunch, and Gwen stays behind afterward. Orville arrives to inform Tony that he has lost Rebecca, heightening the stakes. The casual visit becomes a turning point as hidden identities begin to converge.

Gwen sits at the piano and Rebecca takes the microphone to sing, and Orville instantly recognizes the voice as Rebecca's. The ad campaign's salvation hinges on this reveal. The moment cements Rebecca's potential as the star the cereal company seeks.

Miranda overhears a broadcast and believes the singer sounds like Rebecca, but assumes Rebecca is safe in her room. Disturbed by the idea of public exposure, she forbids Rebecca from singing on the radio. Rebecca and Gwen hatch a plan to transmit from Tony's home instead, bypassing the city.

Lola Lee arrives late to rehearsal as Tony's feelings for Gwen become clear. The rehearsal of the song collapses into an actual evening performance with an orchestra. An accidental mishap occurs when Homer, Miranda's former fiancé, helps Rebecca descend from her bedroom and knocks over a ladder.

Homer helps Rebecca down from her second-story bedroom but knocks over the ladder, forcing him to stay in Rebecca's room. The mishap delays their plan but preserves the chance for Rebecca to sing. The intimate moment underscores the ties between Miranda's past and the present.

Henry learns of Rebecca's singing success and, with his new wife, seeks guardianship to profit from her talent. He hisses a plan to sell her singing contract to a rival company and pressures Miranda to relinquish control. The looming legal battle heightens the stakes for Rebecca's future.

Tony and Gwen locate Rebecca at the local broadcast station and attempt to buy her contract for 100,000 dollars, but a rival executive refuses. When Rebecca tries to sing, her voice seems to fail, and a doctor declares she is temporarily laryngitic. The ad executive tears up the contract, and Tony offers Henry money to surrender guardianship.

Rebecca reveals that her voice is fine, having pretended to be ill. The film concludes with couples forming—Gwen and Tony, Lola Lee and Orville, Miranda and Homer—and Rebecca delivering a military-styled dance show on stage. The planned campaign is secured, and Rebecca's true talent shines.
