Roddy McDowall portrays an English boy named Hugh, who is sent to stay with an American family on the "sunny side" of the pond in order to escape the Nazi blitz. The initial excitement of the host family's young son at having a "brother" to pal around with gradually gives way to resentment when the visitor's impeccable manners and efforts to adopt American slang charms his parents to the extent that they begin neglecting him. To make matters worse, the members of his kids' club vote to replace him with Hugh as their president after the latter routs a bully who has commandeered their clubhouse from the premises with a homemade, chemical stink bomb.
