A duckling moves through crisis with no fanfare, no music swelling to tell you it matters. The storm is just weather. The rescue is just what needs doing. Watch a creature small enough to drown decide that doesn't matter, that the farm depends on it moving anyway, and you understand something about courage that no modern film remembers to show you.

When a storm strikes a farm, a young duckling sets out to rescue the other animals who live there. The film is a short adventure from the 1930s, built around one little bird's effort to help its fellow creatures through the bad weather. Its simple premise centers on a small hero facing a danger much larger than itself.
