Pollyanna, an orphan, is sent to live with her bad-tempered aunt, in Beldingsville, Vermont and she soon discovers that many of the people who live here are also bad tempered and a bit sad.
She decides that she will bring joy and cheer as well as good deal of hope if she can, to the villagers and tries to make them all see the brighter side of life.
But when something terrible happens to Pollyanna, she wonders if she will be able to take her own medicine!
