Paramount's You Belong to Me is a showcase for juvenile performer
David Jack Holt, youngest son of action star Jack Holt. The boy is cast as
Jimmy Faxon, the son of recently widowed vaudeville performer Florette
Faxon (Helen Mack). When Florette marries acrobat Hap Stanley (Arthur
Pierson), Jimmy takes an instant dislike to his new stepfather, preferring
the company of happy-go-lucky vaudeville comic Bud Hannigan (Lee
Tracy). Though Bud tries to encourage Jimmy to give Hap a chance, it
turns out that the kid's instincts are correct: Hap is a philandering heel,
who walks out on Florette at the earliest opportunity. The upshot of all
this is that poor Jimmy is left an orphan, with old reliable Bud providing
the boy with a shoulder to cry on at the fadeout. Helen Morgan adds to
the overall gloominess with one of her patented torch songs.
