To oblige her father's wishes, India-born gentleman's daughter Sarah Crewe enters a boarding school in England where she is given lavish accommodations and whatever she desires. A tragedy in India strips Sarah of her wealth and she ends up sharing a rat-infested attic room with scullery maid Becky. Good fortune is on its way to find Sarah, but as school headmistress Miss Minchin is very much determined to keep her misdeeds hidden, Sarah might not live to relish it. (Source: TFC)
