A Gift for Heidi

Orphan girl Heidi (Sandy Descher) lives with her grandfather, Alm Uncle (Douglas Fowley), in the Swiss Alps, and spends her summer vacation searching for one adventure after another with her friend Peter (Van Dyke Parks). In addition to entering Peter in a singing contest against his will and making friends with a lonely old man, Heidi climbs a dangerous mountain to rescue a newlywed couple caught in an avalanche -- with a little help from the U.S. Army.
