When such blessings as a decrepit, sway-backed horse, or perhaps a Thanksgiving basket from the beautiful benefactress on the hill, happen to come along, the Wiggs star has ascended to heights unknown. But despite the kindness of a newspaper editor (Kent Taylor) and his sweetheart (Evelyn Venable) the cough of little Jimmy Wiggs becomes worse, and at last brings tragedy. Finally, Mr. Wiggs does wander home, but not from...
