Two orphans mourn their lost parents while living under the care of their chubby Aunt Sannie. Gentle Otto the farm manager looks after his son Waldo and also gives the two girls love and understanding. Waldo and the girls are best friends. Things change when Bonaparte Blenkins (Richard E. Grant) shows up and he melts Aunt Sannie with his advances. But nobody can kid these kids. They know he is up to no good and he just wants to steal her money.
