The Kidnappers

★ 6.7/10•1953•1h 33m•Drama•Comedy•Family

The frankly sentimental story of love, hate and adventure in a primitive land!

After losing their father in the Boer War, orphaned brothers Harry and Davy must leave their home in Scotland to live with their grandmother and cantankerous grandfather in Nova Scotia. The boys want nothing more than a pet dog, but their grandfather refuses to get them one. Then, when the brothers find an abandoned baby, they decide to keep it – but the foundling may not have been abandoned after all.
