A police officer finds a baby in a trash can, and Mrs. Lippett, the matron at an orphanage where children are made to work, names her Judy Abbott. Years later, wealthy Jervis Pendleton, a mysterious benefactor, pays to send orphan Judy, now the oldest and cutest kid in the orphanage, to college. Judy calls him Daddy-Long-Legs and writes to him.
