EMMA.

Inventor Frederick Smith's wife dies during the birth of their fourth baby, Ronnie, leaving the family in the care of their faithful housekeeper Emma. The other Smith children, Bill, Gypsy and Isabelle, have all grown into spoiled adults, but Emma lovingly indulges them all, making excuses for their bad behavior to their father and everyone else. Ronnie is happy for the Smith family, but the other children are embarrassed by the blot on their social record. Ronnie flies East to help Emma but is killed while flying through a dangerous storm.
