Punky Brewster: In this pilot episode, a fiery, effervescent 8-year-old named Penelope "Punky" Brewster slips through the open window of an empty apartment, with her loyal puppy Brandon in tow. When she is discovered by Henry Warnimont--the crotchety old apartment manager--she is reluctantly invited into his home, where she reveals the truth about what has happened to her real family. She also bonds with Cherie, a girl her own age who lives with her grandmother Betty in the same building. Henry, who has lived alone for many years, makes it clear that he does not want company, but as sweet little Punky slowly wriggles her way into his heart, he realizes that her future is essentially in his hands now.
