About Captain January
Star (Shirley Temple) is a shipwrecked orphan girl growing up with a gentle lighthouse-keeper named Captain January (Guy Kibbee), who rescued her from the waves when she was just a baby.

When the authorities insist that Star must leave her only guardian, Captain January fears that he may lose his lovable companion for good.
