Roddy MacDowell is taking a vacation! In order that the public doesn't get cold to his style while he's resting up from "Lassic Comes Home," Twentieth Century Fox, Shirley Temple's studio, has come up with a substitute, Lonnie MacCallister by name, and has filmed a heart warming, technicolored-trotting-race-carbon copy of the MacDowell pattern.

The best that can be said about "Home in Indiana" is that it contains a very revealing bathing suit and the best trotting races this side of Old Orchard.

MacCallister is pictured as a modern Huck Finn who doesn't take much to schoolin' but who likes horses. After being humiliated by his Shirley Temple counterpart, he proves his worth as a trotting jockey and wins cups, laurels, and a kiss.

All is not clear sailing MacCallister meets a rival from an exclusive prep-school who, swims across the lake in nothing flat, owns a flashy car, and takes advantage of the opportunities with the Shirley Temple girl that MacCallister has overlooked. But the Horatio Alger wins out amid the thundering hoofs of the trotters and the green grass growing all around, all around, everyone is happy except the audience.
