In a little town in the countryside of England, Kathy Bostock and her two little siblings, Nan and Charles, shelter in their barn three abandoned kittens and (appropriate location) Jesus himself! He is not really the Saviour, though: he is an assassin on the run, who happened to utter the name of Christ when first discovered by Kathy in the barn, before fainting.
Little by little, all the children in town come to believe the man is really Jesus, back on Earth, and try to maintain the secret from the grown-ups, in fear that they may, like the evil people in the past, kill him again.
It's really unbelievable how the plot of the film is taken almost literally from the preceding movie interpreted by Hayley Mills (which you will know, for exemple, as Pollyanna), "Tiger Bay": the little girl and the criminal become friends, that's the kern. "Tiger Bay" is a great film, and "Whistle Down the Wind", though on the edge of plagiarism, is really not bad.
Musical comparison: the many variations, in the couse of time, on themes of the "Don Giovanni" are maybe not like the original, but can be nonetheless really good.
