Der junge Tom Edison (1940)
Die Jugendzeit des amerikanischen Erfinders Edison. Weil Tom sich weigert, zur Schule zu gehen, übernimmt die Mutter den Unterricht. Sie versteht seine Experimentierlust und unterstützt ihn. Als er eines Tages durch seine Kenntnisse ein Unglück verhindert, verstummt der Spott der Dorfbewohner über den „Verrückten“.
