Movie description:
Set in Victorian England, »Station Jim« is the enchanting story of a performing dog who jumps onto a train to escape his cruel master and ends up at a small railway station in the picture-perfect village of Whatmidwell, in deepest Devon. Named »Jim« by Bob, a cheeky but sincere railroad porter who is set on taking over from the retiring Station Master, the feisty pup quickly becomes a favorite of the local orphanage children, especially Henry, a sad, young orphan who waits on the platform every day for the train that he hopes will take him home. The orphanage itself is under threat as well if Reardon, the greedy, unscrupulous son of the owner gets his way and burns it to the ground. On top of this, Queen Victoria is to visit the station, and Jim’s owners are about to pitch up, determined to assassinate Her Majesty for the Republican cause! Jim is, of course, up to the task of saving the orphanage, Bob’s romance with the orphanage’s governess, and the future of the British monarchy – with the help of Henry and a few other kids ...
It is the 1890s. Bob Gregson is a young lad who works as a porter at a rural railway station. He is keen to impress the stationmaster who is looking for a successor because he is about to retire. Having fallen in love with a teacher called Harriet Collins, Bob wants to raise money to save the local orphanage where she works and where he was brought up, after he hears that a local businessman, Mr Riorden, wants to sell it as part of a property deal. He discovers a stray Jack Russell terrier in one of the crates of goods that were delivered to the station and finds out that it can perform tricks such as standing on its hind legs because it had previously worked in a circus. »Station Jim« soon becomes a local attraction with the passengers who pay money to see its tricks. Then it is announced that Queen Victoria will be visiting the station. If Bob plays his cards right, maybe he could persuade her to become a patron of the orphanage ...
