The story begins with our tomboyish heroine Pollyanna Whittier eager to seize the day without a care in the world as usual with her companion chipmunk -- this time with a foot race to the crest of a nearby hill. As could be predicted from the acclivity course, Pollyanna is not prepared for the subsequent declivity at whose nadir grows a group of flowers that helps to mitigate the damage from the rough landing; an impromptu tribute offering to Pollyanna's late mother Jennie gives way to Pollyanna's father Pastor John Whittier summoning his daughter for breakfast complete with an innovative example of his chosen style of family government. The itinerary for the day has as its central feature the Pastor presiding over a meeting of the community group known as Ladies' Aid over a budgetary matter -- if the Pastor's thrombosis will behave for the duration of the meeting; thinking that she can help ensure smooth sailing, Pollyanna decides to peer in on the meeting only to find that one of the Lady Aides is not keen on live audiences!!! Pollyanna races off to rendezvous with her best friend Karen -- and into a lengthy harangue courtesy of Mrs. White that starts with the eavesdropping and deteriorates into a marital dispute of random destructive criticism that ultimately cares nothing of Pollyanna's concern for the Pastor's health nor the ice cream with which Mr. White greets Pollyanna; later that evening, the Pastor interjects his perspective on Pollyanna's frustration and has his daughter's greatest anxiety visited unto him.

Alerted to her father's cardiac distress by Chipmunk, Pollyanna's guilty reverie about not having been able to intercede earlier becomes the preamble for Mrs. White to demonstrate the veracity of the Pastor's sage counsel in response to Pollyanna's earlier frustration; galvanized by the novel insight and Mrs. White's encouragement to not blame herself, Pollyanna eagerly rises to the challenge of administrating Whittier-ke so that the Pastor can recuperate without any worries; unfortunately for all parties involved, the Pastor's health has not improved any even with Pollyanna's optimistic TLC catalyzed by the counsel and assistance of the Lady Aides. Karen recounting how she recovered from a cold much faster when she had access to her favorite food prompts Pollyanna to prosecute that very enterprise much to the anxious dismay of the Pastor and Mrs. White as there is a man-eating bear in the forest whose ravenous chase drives the two girls over a cliff to a ledge where the requisite strawberries are growing; the endemic parental scolding resolved, the dangerous gambit pays off when the Pastor's condition starts to improve. Pollyanna's courage and the Pastor's appreciation thereof is ultimately cold comfort to the whole episode of protracted downtime having driven home the proximity of the Pastor's depot destination when a black dress is discovered among the donated clothes; sure enough, the Pastor's coronary calamity has progressed to the point where the Pastor has just enough time to have Mr. White initiate his final arrangements and impart his concluding counsel for Pollyanna prior to his expiration.

Even with the carcass that was once John Whittier having been buried next to Jennie Harrington-Whittier along with the funeral service to confer some final dignity on the Pastor in the eyes of the community, it does not make up for the fact that Pollyanna is an absolute train wreck as she is now charged with computing an apparatus to move forward with her new life as an orphan. Mrs. White tries to do what she can to comfort Pollyanna while Mr. White and Pastor Carr discuss Pastor Whittier's final arrangements regarding what to do with Pollyanna who decides for interjecting an iconoclastic contribution to the concourse when Chipmunk tries to entertain her in his own way that prompts Mrs. White to take Pollyanna into her home and generally become quite fond of the happy-go-lucky little girl. Pastor Whittier's volition for Pollyanna being sent to reside with Polly Harrington in Beldingsville as a sort of peace offering, Pollyanna having limited data about Beldingsville but signalling an interest in visiting there when she grows up, Polly having shown no interest in her niece . . . the frustrating conundrum ignites a vivacious adversarial divergent concourse between Mr. and Mrs. White who decide for writing a letter to Polly in a bid to offer her the choice of administrating over Pollyanna's childhood development; needless to say, this exhortation does not make Polly's day!!! Fortunately for Pollyanna, Polly does have some honorable compassion that is slightly greater than her volition for the perpetuation of the long-standing quiescent homeostasis as she replies for housing Pollyanna after having Nancy prepare a room in the attic. Galvanized by the data of having an aunt that is willing to take her in, Pollyanna has a dangerous opportunity before her with hefty stakes as she ultimately has to compute whether to stay or go; while Mr. and Mrs. White are both willing to support her either way, Pollyanna just might end up having bought a pig in a poke once she arrives in Beldingsville!!!

Pollyanna completing her train ride to Beldingsville quickly gives way to a snapshot of how Polly Harrington administrates her household as she objurgates Nancy for a minor mistake that insults her unrealistic expectations of the ideal homeostasis; while this is easily rectified, Nancy continuing to fume at the orders she has been made to comply prompts the gardener Tom Peyson to explain Nancy about how Harrington-ke has blackballed John Whittier as a pariah. Tom advises Nancy against walking away in disgust since Pollyanna is going to need at least one ally that can intercede for her against Polly's persecution; the carriage now prepared for travel, Timothy setting course toward the train station with Nancy in tow prompts Tom to remark that about how Pollyanna will make for quite an adventure . . . an adventure that starts with the newly arrived Pollyanna mistaking Nancy for her aunt -- jubilant flying bear hug, talking a mile a minute, and all!!! Pollyanna is astonished to find that her jubilant flying bear hug and her proclivity for being a chatterbox are ultimately perverted to her detriment as her greatest liabilities when Polly makes her aversion for any mention of John Whittier quite clear along with Pollyanna's glad game as she is being led to her room in the attic; upon seeing the austere room, Pollyanna is inundated with the anguish of buyer's remorse as she begins to weep profusely.

Pollyanna is still reeling from what seems to be a harsh lesson of caveat emptor when Timothy's failure to actively monitor Chipmunk prompts the small rodent to decide for reconnaissance rather than confinement; while Chipmunk is learning the lay of the land, Nancy is concerned about Pollyanna when she arrives to catalyze the child unpacking her payload which becomes an impromptu tutorial in The Game to focus on the pleasant side of common real-life circumstances before the anguish of how Polly is behaving toward her niece builds to where she can no longer contain herself before being summoned away. Forgetting all about the scheduled evening meal and the huge circus her sudden absence causes back at Harrington-ke, Pollyanna chases after Chipmunk to a nearby hill with a pine tree growing from a rock trying to reconcile herself to the reality that John Whittier is truly gone before the distraught Nancy conscripts her into prosecuting a home commute whose feature presentation is that Chipmunk has ultimately found himself a new home where he will not be underfoot while Nancy resolves to do her best to compensate for Polly's frigid modus operandi toward Pollyanna who introduced her to The Game; however, what gets lost in the shuffle is the fact that Polly is not exactly an evil woman . . . it is just that Polly does not understand how to prosecute productive and constructive family government not unlike what her sister and her husband have practiced with Pollyanna.

After the adventure Pollyanna and Chipmunk prosecuted to find a new diurnal contemplation spot along with a new place to sleep that keeps the latter from being underfoot so that the former stays out of hot water, a brand-new beautiful day begins that prompts Pollyanna to marvel at the scenery when she sees Polly make her way over to a flower garden where Tom allows her to isolate a few roses; delighted with the insight that her aunt is not merely a Lady Aide emulation, Pollyanna races onto the scene to visit unto Polly a jubilant flying bear hug that flusters the aristocrat into making a hasty departure. Tom has quite a prologue with Harrington-ke but only has a few minutes to hydroplane across its vast scope before Nancy delivers an austere objurgation as she leads Pollyanna away to breakfast where a couple of flies have invited themselves on a tour of the house much to Polly's disgust that causes Nancy to be charged the flies' extermination; while she fumes at Pollyanna having once again perverted a punitive exercise to her detriment, Polly demonstrates signs of a perennial and cumbersome deviant diagnostic that manifests itself in times of distress such as the comments that Pollyanna makes . . . and definitely Pollyanna's childish but benign antics during the afternoon shopping trip to upgrade her wardrobe at whose conclusion Chipmunk greets Pollyanna upon her return!!! Pollyanna is not thrilled to learn that her local responsibilities will ultimately be of quite a broad scope if Polly's emphasis on duty has anything to say about it -- a scope that extends to such things as the free-form leisure time that Pollyanna considers sacred; unwilling to sleep in a sweltering bedroom or to break the promise to her aunt, Pollyanna decides upon an iconoclastic vehicle for conducting her duty that has Polly in quite a panic of being home-invaded.

Tom and Timothy are quite surprised -- and relieved -- that the intruder is only Pollyanna wanting to comfortably catch forty winks under the stars atop the sun parlor; dividing her energies between indignation at having been wielded in a skit of childish crass comedy and maternal anxiety for her niece's safety, Polly is astounded at how Pollyanna complies her orders to re-enter the house as she declares that Pollyanna will be sleeping in her bedroom until the screens for the windows have been installed . . . only for Pollyanna to end up claiming Polly's whole bed for herself!!! The next morning is rife with laughter as Nancy compares notes with Mrs. Durgin about last night's incident along with Polly scolding Pollyanna for incessant chatter during breakfast before the mirth gives way to concern that Polly could intensify her austerity curriculum to the point where even Pollyanna's spirit would be crushed; as if to further clarify this volition, Polly charges Nancy the importation of the newly arrived apparel to Pollyanna's room in the attic while making it clear that it is to be the wardrobe rather than a mere amendment along with reminding Pollyanna of her daily lessons. Pollyanna isolates her pink shirt and maroon overalls from her old wardrobe prior to racing downstairs to rendezvous with Polly whose exhortation is that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland be read aloud as a means to appraise and ameliorate the scope of her vocabulary and pronunciation; as has been previously demonstrated, reading the book aloud is the last thing on Pollyanna's mind as Pollyanna's incessant chatter perverts the language arts lesson to Polly's detriment while demonstrating the wisdom of the proverb Silence is golden as Polly storms away after she advises Pollyanna about why the word assume is spelled the way it is regarding the parallels drawn between Jennie and herself. Nancy and Timothy comparing notes about Pollyanna's plight and chances of survival gives way to Pollyanna ultimately finding her big break in a compassionate piano teacher that successfully argues her case against being forced to study against her will; her sacred playtime now secured, Pollyanna repulses the playful derision of the first child she encounters during her stay in Beldingsville -- a boy named Jimmy Bean.

A culinary lesson one Wednesday morning with Nancy sets the stage for Pollyanna to contrast the instruction techniques of Nancy versus the Lady Aides' in her former town along with exclaiming the immense euphoria of having found her groove with the diurnal lessons Polly has charged her; while Nancy is wholeheartedly celebrating the ironic humor of how her boss has had to see past Pollyanna's quirks, Polly is reflecting on what perspective to assume of her niece as she renews her resolve -- an attribute thereof her personal observation of the piano lessons much to Chipmunk's anxiety. Pollyanna has already inspired some analytical expository concourse among the townspeople from her habit of greeting them as she wanders around the town; if that is not enough, Pollyanna encounters the reclusive miser John Pendleton walking through town with his dog Talim who combines efforts with his master to unequivocally repel her friendly overtures!!! After some nocturnal computation about that engagement, Pollyanna reasons that John has probably led a lonesome life defined by protracted periods of having nobody to rely on for company mixed with a few incidences of dealing with the aftermath of treachery of ill-intentioned people that had approached him as a friend -- hence the frigid and hostile repulsion. Galvanized by her slightly better fortunes with the Miser on a rainy day, Pollyanna decides for greeting the Miser at every engagement as a side project concurrent with trying to befriend Jimmy who is gradually showing show some signs of warming up to her; unfortunately, Pollyanna's perseverance over the next ten days only serves to frustrate the Miser into blowing his stack -- and demonstrating that he has as much of a gold heart as a stone face. Upon concluding her home commute from an errand, Pollyanna ultimately finds that she is the only one who thinks of this milestone as a cause cèlèbre when Timothy and Nancy explain her John Pendleton's prologue having a dark cloud about it in a bid to scare the confused child away from her excavation efforts which they fear could become dangerous; while she is successful in locating the Miser's house in the forest, Pollyanna is so terrified by the journey that she flees back to Harrington-ke in a panic.

Searching for food and staying off the menu of a hungry predator is quite an ongoing adventure for Chipmunk; what he does not realize is that Pollyanna is about to embark upon an exciting adventure which precludes his participation. Pollyanna signalling an interest toward being a humanitarian emissary to the infirm Mrs. Snow takes Polly by surprise when she recalls Nancy's aversion for the task; upon Pollyanna affirming it as her independent volition, Polly gives the green light upon the completion of the piano lessons while wondering to herself what kind of child her niece is. Payload safely in hand and galvanized by some last-minute sage counsel, Pollyanna sets off on her way towards Mrs. Snow's house after she briefly pauses to acknowledge Chipmunk's disappointment at not being allowed along for the journey which becomes the forum for demonstrating the element of hypocrisy in Beldingsville when Jimmy is summarily repulsed onto the street like a heap of refuse for no other reason than offering to work for food only for nobody to approach him immediately thereafter to at least learn the deviant diagnostic; while Jimmy is not exactly appreciative of the concern driving her to inquire him his status as he is dusting himself off, Pollyanna takes it in stride as she continues her commute to Snow-ke. Mrs. Snow's daughter Milly leads Pollyanna inside to the room where her mother has the curtains closed as she is sitting up in bed; intrigued at how Pollyanna has taken her eccentricity in stride, Mrs. Snow's ensuing exhortation of Pollyanna illuminates part of her deviant diagnostic much to Milly's surprise when Pollyanna prosecutes her home commute!!! Pollyanna is ultimately in for quite a shock when she learns that Jimmy is also an orphan like she is and is having a rough time establishing some kind of micro-economy to take responsibility for himself; recalling the earlier encounter and seeing that Jimmy's angling is going nowhere as there are no fish, Pollyanna firmly decides to bail Jimmy her family government as she leads the way back to Harrington-ke -- with Jimmy as a new friend.

A brief stopover a short distance away from where Harrington-ke is clearly visible becomes the forum for Pollyanna to once again assure Jimmy that her family government is the solution to his housing problem -- a perspective bolstered by Tom who is interested to see if Polly will cooperate with her niece's philanthropic volition the way she did with her big sister as a child. What actually happens next is a syllabus detailing the aggregate character of Beldingsville and its Lady Aides whose population includes Polly Harrington herself . . . they will not recognize that everybody, including themselves, is a diamond in the rough that could benefit from some polishing. After she recovers herself from Pollyanna breaking the news to her, Polly makes it very clear that she will not exert the effort to maintain Jimmy as her ward in spite of having the micro-economy to easily do so complete with a warning that she will discard Pollyanna with the rubbish she brings home at next infraction; while Pollyanna is in anguish over her aunt's hostile reaction, Tom takes a moment to give Jimmy an adhesive bandage. Drawing on her prologue with the Lady Aides in her previous hometown, Pollyanna decides to exhort housing from the Beldingsville Lady Aides upon having it explained that Polly has suddenly decided to sit out the meeting because Jimmy's outburst has ultimately hit very close to home; while this predictably falls flat much to Pollyanna's chagrin, Talim comes racing around the two kids as the emissary of a dangerous opportunity that could crest the housing mountain!!!
