Little Lord Fauntleroy

Cedric Errol is the heir to the Earl of Dorincourt and the title Lord Fauntleroy. Cedric's grandfather wants him to live in England and be educated as an English aristocrat. The Earl is impressed by the appearance and intelligence of his American grandson and is charmed by his innocent nature. He becomes a benefactor to his tenants, to their delight, though he takes care to let them know that their benefactor is the child. Meanwhile, a neglected pretender appears in England claiming to be the offspring of the Earl's eldest son, Cedric, Sr.
