The film shows Jeannie’s routine in the children’s home and her making new friends. The father, who is at first betting on horses, decides to turn over a new leaf and change his life by getting a job and buying a home.

It had more than 100 beds and served thousands of homeless children, ages 6 to 16. For many years, the home was solely dependent upon local Baptists churches and received no local, state or national funding. In 1990, Children's Baptist Home moved to the San Fernando Valley and became what is now known as Children's Homes of Southern California, a nonprofit organization that provides residential care and other vital services to teenage boys, ages eleven through seventeen, in Los Angeles County.
