Movie description:
The classic Edwardian story by E. Nesbit is now a classic children’s film by Lionel Jeffries. After their father is imprisoned as a spy, three children go to live in a Yorkshire country cottage with a railway line at the bottom of the garden. The many new friends they meet, and the exciting and dangerous adventures they have on the tracks, help to prove their father’s innocence.
The story follows the adventures of the Waterbury children, who are forced to move with their mother from a luxurious Edwardian villa in the London suburbs to »Three Chimneys«, a house near the fictional Great Northern and Southern Railway in the Yorkshire dales, as the father, who works at the Foreign office, has been imprisoned as a result of being falsely accused of selling state secrets to the Russians.
The three children, Roberta (Bobbie), Phylllis and Peter, find amusement in watching the trains on the nearby railway line and waving to the passengers. They become friendly with Albert Perks, the station porter, and with the Old Gentleman who regularly takes the 9:15 down train. Meanwhile, to earn money to survive during her husband’s absence, Mother writes and sells stories to magazines.
After many adventures, including saving the lives of dozens of passengers by alerting a train to a landslide, rescuing a Russian dissident, Mr. Szczepansky, and uniting him with his family, and caring for Jim, the grandson of the Old Gentleman, who is injured whilst participating in a paper chase, Bobbie eventually discovers the truth of her father’s absence and appeals to the Old Gentleman for his help. He is eventually able to help prove their father’s innocence, and the family is reunited.
