As described in a film magazine, Sara Crewe is treated as a little princess at the Minchin boarding school for children until it is learned that her father has lost his entire fortune, and she is made a slave (a household servant). She and Becky, another slave, become close friends who share their joys and sorrows. Christmastime draws near and the girls watch the preparations wistfully.
