Su alla baita, Heidi è felice e spensierata, ma sua zia, approfittando del fatto che il nonno non vuole mandare a scuola la bambina, la porta con sé a Francoforte per farla studiare insieme a Clara, figlia di una famiglia benestante e costretta a stare sempre in casa, su una sedia a rotelle. Heidi si affeziona a Clara, ma è vessata dalla governante, la severa signorina Rottenmeier, e non sopporta di vivere in città, lontana dal nonno e dalle amate montagne. Così, un giorno, decide di scappare
