Movie 1939 TMDB 7.6/10 Released

Young Pud is orphaned and left in the care of his aged grandparents. The boy and his grandfather are inseparable.

One day Mr. Brink, an agent of Death, arrives to take Gramps "to the land where the woodbine twineth." Through a bit of trickery, Gramps confines Mr. Brink, and thus Death, to the branches of a large apple tree, giving Gramps extra time to resolve issues about Pud's future.
