Priscilla Williams is a young girl traveling with her mother, Joyce, to join her paternal grandfather, a British army colonel, at the post he commands in northern India. Upon arrival, they witness the capture of Khoda Khan, leader of the rebel Indian faction. Priscilla plays at being a soldier and is even given a uniform and allowed to drill by the genial Sergeant MacDuff, but her gruff grandfather disapproves and insists she remain apart from the troops. She eventually charms him, along with everyone else on the post, including Khoda Khan, whom she wins over by returning a talisman he's dropped. When the attractive Lieutenant Brandes deserts his post to take Joyce to a dance, Khan escapes, and Brandes is arrested. As hostilities with the rebels mount, Priscilla and servant Mohammet Dihn --actually an Indian spy--take off for Khoda Khan's stronghold.

| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonDoesn't ask for much investment and doesn't repay close engagement. Insofar as it meets that goal without seeming stupid or cloying, it's a smashing success. |
| User ReviewAshley HWee Willie Winkie is a cute movie. It is about Priscilla Williams who is a young girl traveling with her mother to join her paternal grandfather, a British army colonel, at the post he commands in northern India. Shirley Temple and Victor McLaglen give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. John Ford did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure. Wee Willie Winkie is a must see. |

| User ReviewChris APriscilla acts kinda stupid...Among other things, why would she attempt to go see a terrorist by herself in the middle of the night? |
| User ReviewShirley MThis movie follows the typical "Shirley Temple movie" script and underlying themes. It was enjoyable, but not very distinct. |
