Shirley Steals the Film!
There is no doubt why Shirley Temple stole the scenes in her films especially the short. She's adorable and precocious as the little sister. Anyway, she is here again as Mary Lou Rodgers. Her brother and his friend decide to seek their fortune in gold in the desert. Somehow Mary Lou ends up tagging along even though she can't help since she's so young and small. Anyway they meet a prospector who offers them the answer their looking for in gold that is. Anyway, Mary Lou has given her warning that there is something wrong with this guy. Well there is something wrong with this guy. Anyway you have to watch the short to see it. The audio and video quality has eroded over the years since this film was in the movie theater. There is a happy ending of course. It's not classic cinema just some mindless fun to help cheer up those in the Great Depression era.
