The Little Pirate Synopsis

Drake hijacks the securities, however, and their disappearance leads to the break-up of the Bairds' marriage, resulting in Virginia leaving the house. Attempting to console her father, Margery sets out on her pony to bring her mother home. But she is held up on the road by Captain Kidd Jr., who adopts her as his first mate, and the two children take up residence on a grass hut on a nearby island. There, while playing at being pirates, they discover the missing securities. As they are returning to land in a leaky boat, the children are found, much to the delight of their parents. Margery's return with the missing securities reunites the Bairds, and all ends happily.
