Plot
After their orphanage burns down, a group of children are being transported west by train to Manitoba. All of them are available for adoption and at a stop at Scourie, Ontario little Patsy meets Victoria McChesney.
Sinekatalog’s take
Orphans traveling west by train are offered for adoption, and a girl meets a stern woman who may change her fate. A sentimental family drama with a good-hearted conflict. Soft and sincere, for audiences who like classic tearjerkers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
