ReportMadeline is the smallest of twelve girls in a boarding school, in an old house in Paris. When long lost Uncle Horst pays a surprise visit to Madeline, promising to move her to a new home in Vienna, her longing for a family seems to be fulfilled. Madeline becomes suspicious when her new Uncle loses his refined accent and takes an unexplained detour. Knowing she's in trouble Madeline leaves a trail. It then turns out that uncle Horst is actually Henri, a miserable lackey who works for an even more miserable woman who runs a dingy factory. Ultimately Madeline helps the orphans who work there by notifying the outside world of their plight.

Girls are being kept in a basement, made to sleep on straw, and forced to weave lace. They're malnourished and when their work isn't good enough, they're forced to work on black lace, which it is said will make them go blind. Madeline's hair is cut with the intention being that she will be forced to make lace from her own hair.

Madeline and the lace workers are orphans, but no deaths are shown onscreen. The girls literally say “Madeline has no family” at the beginning of the movie.
