...Little Fugitive (Joseph Burstyn] attempts to follow a seven-year-old boy, a runaway from home, on a 24-hour splurge at Coney Island. As the young hero, Richie Andrusco, who was discovered by the makers of the film while he was riding on the merry-go-round at Coney Island, undoubtedly has the most heart-stirring child's face to appear on the U.S. screen since Jackie Coogan.

When a couple of starry-eyed students (Pier Angeli and Gino Leurini) are caught in a storm in the woods and spend the night innocently in an abandoned church, a puritanical summer-camp directress brands them moral outcasts. The girl tries to drown herself, but is saved in the nick of time by the boy and two sympathetic teachers (Vittorio De Ska and American Lois Maxwell), who have been fighting for more enlightened sex education for students...
