Plot
Exchanging clothes with a group of runaway orphans who escape from a train, the gang ends up on a train headed for New Orleans. Pressed into service as the kids' supervisor, Travelers Aid attendant Mr. Henderson (Dell Henderson) suffers torment, especially when he tries to prevent three-year-old Spanky from socking the nose of every adult in sight.
Things come to a head late that night when Stymie accidentally releases a monkey from its cage, and the monkey in turn releases a menagerie of circus animals from the baggage car and then lights some fireworks. When the train reaches its destination the next morning, Mr. Henderson receives a telegram saying that he has the wrong children and must bring them back on a train to California.
