Heidi Page #6

Synopsis: Eight-year-old Heidi is orphaned and her selfish maternal Aunt Dete takes her to the mountains to live with Adolph Kramer, her grumpy, old, outcast, survivalist paternal grandfather.

When Aunt Dete steals Heidi away to be the companion of a rich man's invalid daughter, the grandfather is enraged and sets out to get her back. Back in Frankfurt, loved and adored by everyone she touches except the villainous housekeeper, Fraulein Rottenmeier, she thrives but is inwardly very sad and lonely. No matter what anyone tells her, Heidi, with faith, hope, and the stubbornness she inherited from her grandfather, knows that some day she will be reunited with the him and the beloved people of the mountain's little village.

Stop!

Stop, or I'll shoot!

Whoa!

You broke out of jail.

You took a sled that

did not belong to you.

You stole that child,!

- He didn't steal me!

- I tell you, she's mine!

Silence!

Herr Captain,

we have found the woman.

Good. Bring her in.

- Is this your child?

- Yes, Herr Captain.

No, I'm not!

Is this the man who struck you

and took her away from you?

- Yes.

- She's lying!

I don't know who she is or what

she's doing, but Heidi is mine!

That's enough!

You will be held for trial.

You stupid fools!

- Can't you see what you're doing?

- Lock him up,!

You can't! You're not going

to take her away from me again!

No! No, you mustn't

take him away!

He's telling the truth!

He is my grandfather.

My really and truly grandfather!

Please! Please let him go!

- Come on! Don't be hysterical.

- Grandfather!

We'll want you for the trial,

Take your child home,

I am not her child!

She's a bad lady!

She tried to sell me

to the Gypsies!

Please.

Please let the grandfather

take me home.

He didn't mean

to do anything bad.

I'll work hard and pay back

for everything he broke.

- So will Swanly and Bearly.

- Pay no attention to her.

She'll be all right

when I get her to bed.

I won't go with her!

She broke my snowstorm...

and sent my Aunt Dete away so she

couldn't take me home to the mountains!

If you don't believe me

just ask Herr Sesemann.

- He'll tell you the truth.

- Herr Sesemann?

What has Herr Sesemann

to do with this?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

- He has too.

Aunt Dete brought me

there to play with Klara.

- I taught her her how to walk.

- Oh, this is ridiculous.

- Come along.

- Just a minute.

- Well, now, Lieutenant- - Perhaps

we'd better send for Herr Sesemann.

Oh, absurd! We- Well, we visited

the Sesemann house tonight.

Christmas, you know.

My sister's governess there.

It would be highly improper

to disturb Herr Sesemann at this hour!

I think you'd better

wait until we hear...

what Herr Sesemann

has got to say.

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

Dear, dear, dear.

Seems quite impossible.

Nothing emerges from the spigot.

- Not that way!

- Oh.

That way.

My word!

I say, Bearly's

a very warm goat, isn't she?

- Of course, silly. All goats are warm.

- How cozy.

Heidi,! Heidi,!

They're coming,!

Really ought to master this.

Let's have a race

to the grandfather.

Well, well.

Oh, Grandfather, this is Klara.

And just think-

she beat me running!

And I beat Herr Sesemann.

How do you do?

This is the grandmother

and Goat Peter.

And this is Pastor Schultz

and Frau Schultz.

I guess I can't deny it this time.

They were married yesterday.

Come, sit down, all of you!

You must be starved

after your climb up the mountain.

Bless us, O Lord,

in these Thy gifts...

which we are about to

receive from Thy bounty.

And please make every little boy and

girl in the world as happy as I am.

Amen.
