***SPOILERS***Pretty 12 year old Jenny Fallgren, Carole Wells,is forced to skip her summer vacation to get operated on her club foot that she was born with and is getting worse as she's growing up into adulthood. It's then that Jenny and her parents Mr. & Mrs. Fallgren, Anthony Caruso & Ann Staunton, began to realize that this may be, Jenny being operated on, her last chance to grow up normal and become what she always dreamed of a airline stewardess or place kicker for the Cleveland Browns.
Resisting at first to be operated on, Jenny's is quite used to kicking cans and hobbling around and being club-footed, Jenny finally agrees to be operated on by top hospital orthopedist Dr. Keller,Ainslie Pryor, to not only please her parents but her boyfriend Dick,Jimmy Karath, whom she plans to marry who also plans to play for the Browns as a running back or get a job in the airlines, like her, as a pilot so they can work as well as be together.
No big surprise here with the operation a complete success or as they say in the neighborhood-Brooklyn's Bensonhurst-a piece of cake with Jenny not only able to walk with out a limp but not having to be called by those who known and see her "Limpy" for the rest of her life. The operation in the end saves Jenny a lot of heart-brake as well as suffering through life in that as Dr. Keller told her and her parents her condition would become worse as she grew older and may well end up, due to circulation problems, having to lose her leg or foot altogether!
