Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is one of the good films destined for the young. It has no moral axe to grind and no child could help enjoying it. The heroine is a normal child full of common sense and courage. The film is full of thrills and incident, and the country scenes summery and pleasant."[3]
Kine Weekly wrote: "There is plenty of action before the villains are captured, including a canal jump, a tussle with the thieves and a car chase. Good acting by the juvenile star. Entertaining short for club audiences."[4]
In Sight and Sound Janet Hills wrote: "Miss Mary C. Parnaby and Mr. Maurice T. Woodhouse, reporting on children's cinema clubs in a 1947 B.F.I. pamphlet, thought that the C.E.F. film Jean's Plan, although showing a genuine appreciation of young audiences' needs and interests, left too little to the imagination. They felt that suggestion would have been more effective than the somewhat detailed exposition."[5]
