The Ransom Of Emily Jane
When the town gossips learn that rambunctious little Emily Jane Dorset has been kidnapped, they dutifully murmur, 'Poor little tyke,' and then go on to rejoice in the unaccustomed peace and quiet her absence brings. Meanwhile, the 'poor little tyke' is having the time of her life terrorizing her mild-mannered inexperienced kidnappers, whose ransom demands grow smaller and smaller as Emily Jane's pranks grow wilder and wilder. Eventually, a most unusual bargain is struck, and Emily Jane is returned to the reluctant arms of her father. This comedy classic is suited to audiences of any age.
