But alas, Heidi's scheming Aunt has other plans for her - ones that will bring her great financial reward - and Heidi is thus dragged away from her new home, back to the city. Here she befriends Clara who is wheelchair-bound, and through their friendship, Clara gains the courage to walk again, Auntie's plans crumble around her, and it all ends happily ever after for our heroine, back in her happy Alpine home...
