MOVIE REVIEW:- Stowaway (1936)
Barbara "Ching-Ching" Stewart is an orphan living in Sanchow, China. When bandits threaten, she is taken to Shanghai for safety and meets Tommy Randall, a rich playboy traveling about the world on a ship. Barbara accidentally becomes a stowaway on his ship. When discovered, she is provided for by Tommy and Susan Parker, a passenger on the ship engaged to the son of her traveling companion, Mrs Ruth Hope. Susan and Tommy become romantically involved. Barbara plays Cupid in furthering their romance. The couple realize they love Barbara and want to do the best for her after learning she will be put off the ship and sent to an orphan's asylum. Susan breaks her engagement with Richard Hope, Ruth's son, after discovering his selfish nature and marries Tommy. The two adopt Barbara.

PRODUCTION NOTES:-
Temple learned forty words in Mandarin Chinese for the film, later stating the learning process required six months of instruction (Edwards 101, 306).
In the film, she impersonates Ginger Rogers (with a life-sized male doll fixed to her toes), Eddie Cantor, and Al Jolson singing “Mammy”.
Temple’s IQ was tested during the Stowaway period and found to be 155, the genius classification.
