A busy business woman hires Miss Elizabeth Munn to be the new governess to her little girl, Gretchen Anstey. Munn doesn't like the staff or Gretchen lax manners. The little girl cares for a dog trapped at the bottom of a well and names him Wolf. One day, she falls in but she helps Wolf escape. Wolf manages to warn the staff and Gretchen is rescued. Miss Munn returns the dog back to the Army. Gretchen and the boys help Wolf escape and they set off for Washington.
Munn needs to be an old mean governess. Her casting is a little off. She needs to look meaner. It would make her conversion more compelling. It is a little weird setting up the Army as the bad guys. It would be fine for a non-wartimes movie. It does allow the Secretary of War to be more human but he ends up trying to explain WWII to a little girl. It's awfully awkward. I guess they are trying to equate this with little children sending off their fathers to war. I get the point. In which case, what about Gretchen's father.
