When tempestuous Mary Lennox (Margaret O'Brien), born in India to wealthy parents, is orphaned by a cholera epidemic, she is sent to live with her reclusive and embittered Uncle Archibald Craven (Herbert Marshall) and her ill-behaved, bedridden cousin Colin (Dean Stockwell) at their desolate and decaying estate known as Misselthwaite Manor. Dickon (Brian Roper), the brother of one of the house maids, tells her of a garden secreted behind a hidden door in a vine-covered wall. When a raven unearths the key, the two enter and discover the garden is overgrown from neglect since Craven's wife died there in an accident. They decide to keep their discovery a secret, and begin to restore it to its original grandeur. Under the influence of the Secret Garden, Mary becomes less self-absorbed, Colin's health steadily improves, and Archibald's curmudgeonly personality fades away.

Bugs est un publicitaire pour un cirque dans une ville du Far West. Sam, en voyant une de ses idoles (Fonceur Freep) décide d'y aller (il paie également un lot de tickets tellement il est fan de Fonceur Freep). Hélas Bugs reçoit un télégramme de la part du plongeur disant que ce dernier ne pourra pas exécuter son plongeon de la mort. Sam oblige alors Bugs à exécuter le numéro. Bugs permute les positions et Sam plonge à sa place : Bugs demande (ironiquement) à Sam de fermer les yeux pendant qu'il enfile son maillot de bain mais pendant que Sam ferme ses yeux, Bugs, ayant fini d'enfiler son maillot de bain, balance la planche de l'autre côté. Bugs fait semblant de plonger, mais Sam, voulant descendre, en fait, plonge dans le baquet d'eau. Le lapin le roule une seconde fois en le faisant sauter en rebondissant sur la planche. Sam y retourne après s'être trompé de sens, Bugs l'arnaque à deux reprises avec les gags de la ligne et de la porte. Après l'avoir fait tomber à quatre reprises (dont une fois déguisé en Amérindien), Sam tombe une dernière fois avec la fameuse scène de physique cartoon.

Based on the overthrow of Cuban dictator Gerardo Machado y Morales in 1933, the story is about a group of revolutionaries who plot to bring down their corrupt government. China (pronounced Cheena) Valdez (Jennifer Jones) witnesses her brother's murder after he distributes leftist pamphlets and vows that she will kill his assassin. At his funeral, however, she is persuaded to join an underground group whose moves are more carefully orchestrated. China's house is next door to a cemetery and the leader of the group John Fenner (John Garfield) devises a scheme to assassinate an official whose family plot is in the cemetery and detonate a bomb at the man's funeral thereby killing as many officials as possible. To do this, they must dig a tunnel from China's house to the cemetery. Much of the movie focuses on the digging of the tunnel while Garfield and Jones develop a romantic interest in each other. The film climaxes with a violent shoot-out sequence.
