Heidi, an orphan, goes to live with her cranky grandfather high in the Alps. She is happy and healthy, until she is sent to live with a rich family as a companion for a sick girl, Clara. Although she grows fond of the girl, she is incredibly homesick. She eventually returns to the Alps and finds happiness in the natural mountain setting.
