Pollyanna goes to live with her lonely, bitter old Aunt Polly (Elaine Stritch) after the death of her beloved father. Despite being paralyzed in a horrible accident, her sunny nature and determination to look on the brighter side of life has an astonishing effect on the lives of everyone she encounters, including an old hermit (Donald Bisset), an orphaned boy (Stephen Galloway), and her doctor (Paul Maxwell). Will all the people whose lives she's brightened be able to make her happy again?
