Little Lord Fauntleroy

Living in genteel poverty, young Cedric Errol and his mother receive word that because his uncles and his father are all dead, he is now the heir to the Earl of Dorincourt. The Lord Fauntleroy is taken to England to be supervised by his mean, grouchy grandfather. His innocent belief that his grandfather must be a great and kind man causes his grandfather to become a great and kind man. The grandfather finds himself completely capivated by his grandson's pure nature. When it appears that Cedric's might not be the heir, his friends all rally around him.
