Set around the singing of a 10-year old star (Bobby Breen) who plays Chip Winters. Chip goes to a summer camp located deep in the Maine woods. Many American summer camps in the 1930s had uniforms. The camp uniform can be seen here. He makes friends with Johnny Selden, a famous but failing composer played rather incongrously by Basil Rathbone. Selden has decided that a stay in the country might spark his creative juices. Chip decided that Johnny might be just what his widowed mother, also a singer, needs. Billy Lee plays one of the campers Pee Wee. Not a very imaginative film. You do know what is going to have after just the first few minutes. The film is purely a vehicle for Breen's singing.
