Laddie and Lassie, his son, live in England in the dog kennel of the Duke of Radling (Nigel Bruce) managed by Sam Caraclough (Donald Crisp). After World War II begins, the dog kennel is taken over by the War Department under the management of the kennel man Sam. His son, Joe Caraclough (Peter Lawford), is in love with the Duke's daughter, Priscilla (June Lockhart). Joe is sent off to pilot training and ultimately stationed at an air base during the war. In the meantime, Lassie is deemed untrainable as a war dog. Notably, he appeared gun shy and would not attack a man. Lassie then manages to run away several times to reunite 40 miles away with her owner Joe. During one such visit, he hides in Joe's airplane and is undiscovered until they are in the air during a reconnaissance flight. The plane is disabled by airborne flack and they have to parachute out with Joe holding Lassie. They are then stranded in the middle of Nazi-occupied Norway but are separated accidentally. During Lassie's attempts to track Joe, Lassie almost leads the Nazi soldiers right to Joe but both manage to escape separately. At one point, Nazis use Lassie to identify Joe from among a group of Norwegian laborers. Joe is captured but, before they return to the Nazi camp, Lassie protects Joe from being shot by Lassie attacking the Nazi soldier, and they escape again. They both sneak away on a sailboat, and return to England to be reunited with Priscilla, Lassie and his father Sam.

| User ReviewJames HI am not a huge fan of Lassie movies, but the good production values boost this one up a few notches. The World War II slant on the film is an interesting twist. Good cast, Donald Crisp is very good. Of course Lassie is amazing as always. |
| User ReviewSTCENTERPRISE .Son of Lassie 1945 Lassie and Lady Son of Lassie Lady go recruited to military army dog training. MP'S Find son of lassie Lady afraid of guns and not jumping over fens but crawl under it. Lady snuck onto British reconicissence plan to take low hight photos of Norway during World War II. The plan gets shot down and Lady with owner. The air raid sequence looked impressive with all the explosions and destruction. The landscapes or mountains and snow of Norway looked amazing. Nazis use Grande on log cabin so it will not be used to hide allies. Have Lady encounter POW camp where a blind man ask to use Lady for a Seen Eye dog. Workers are around digging and putting sand bags for barricades Dog found owner but Nazis located British pilot Dog can't even fetch a stick. Nazi sergeant insults British pilot Lady came home with owner. Nothing about the ending came as a surprise because it was expected. The body of the film and journey was the best part of the film. Lassie was insured for a million dollars while head star was insured for less. |
| User ReviewBen CA simple 'Lassie-esqued' film that tugs at the heart strings well and focuses on devil-may-care though unaware and friendly Laddie very well as the movie is set during the Second World War. |
