The Tap dance kid

8-year-old Willie Sheridan dreams of tap dancing on Broadway. Willie is encouraged and tutored by his Uncle Dipsey but opposed by his father. His 12-year-old sister, Emma, is the only one willing to aid him. Desiring to be a lawyer like her father, Emma, the president of a neighborhood Children's Rights Crusade, takes on Willie as the perfect test case.
