Synopsis
While stationed on the Italian border, six American soldiers befriend a 5-year-old orphan, nickname him Dondi, and make him their mascot. Their major problem becomes keeping the youngster's presence a secret from their tough top sergeant. When their outfit is transferred back to the States, little Dondi stows away on the troopship and is smuggled into New York. Before long he loses contact with his friends and has a series of adventures in Macy's department store and a run-in with a spurious blind beggar. Meanwhile, one of the G.I.'s, Dealey, and his singer-sweetheart, Liz, have launched a nationwide search for the little fellow. When the boy is finally found, he is detained by the immigration authorities for eventual deportation, but Dealey and Liz enlist the aid of columnist Walter Winchell and succeed in having Dondi declared an American citizen by act of Congress. Dealey and Liz then decide to marry and legally adopt Dondi.
