Nachdem Sara Crewe, Tochter eines in Indien lebenden wohlhabenden Vaters, mit sieben Jahren auf ein Mädchenpensionat in London geschickt wird, wird sie von ihren Mitschülerinnen wegen ihrer blühenden Phantasie und ihres Reichtums bald "Prinzessin Sara" genannt - von manchen liebevoll, von anderen spöttisch. Doch der Komfort und die bevorzugte Behandlung finden ein jähes Ende, als Saras Vater verarmt in Indien stirbt. Fortan wird sie in eine Dachkammer verbannt und muß für ihre Unterbringung hart arbeiten. Ihre Phantasie und wenige gute Freunde helfen ihr, nicht zu verzweifeln. Doch dann geschieht etwas Wunderbares ...
