The Littlest Rebel is a 1935 movie directed by David Butler, starring child-actress Shirley Temple. It was adapted from a play of the same name, written by Edward Peple. Shirley Temple plays the daughter of a rebel officer, Captain Herbert Cary, played by John Boles, who sneaks back to his rundown plantation to see his family, only to be arrested. A yankee takes pity on him and lets him escape. All of them are captured to be executed, when Shirley's character, Virgie Cary, goes to president Abraham Lincoln for help.
