"Captain January" has a sappy plot: a cute little girl, rescued from a shipwreck by an old lighthouse keeper, is in danger of being taken away by a mean old Miss Gulch of a truant officer. The only things that save this film are the musical and dance scenes, particularly "The Codfish Ball," performed by Shirley and Buddy Ebsen. Take that out and the movie is a wash--or awash.
"Just Around the Corner" is one of the few Shirley Temple movies that even acknowledges the Great Depression. Shirley's mother is apparently dead, and the girl lives with her architect father in a skyscraper New York apartment house. He is on his uppers, but with his daughter's help the icy heart of a mean old millionaire melts and all ends well. You could see it all coming. There are no memorable song and dance numbers, even with Bill Robinson, the doorman, or at the outrageous benefit Shirley stages for her father.
"Susannah of the Mounties" is pure claptrap. Shirley's family is killed by renegade Indians, and she is rescued by the Canadian Royal Mounties. There are all sorts of Indians with giant feather headdresses, squealing and threatening and talking pigeon English ("White men speak with forked tongue"). It's embarrasing to anyone with the least bit of knowledge about native Americans. In this film Shirley has no song and dance interludes of note.
Shirley was a bit long of tooth when these three movies were made and the cuteness of her earlier films is growing a bit thin. If you're short of time, dial up "The Codfish Ball" and skip the rest of these.

This is a three-box set containing Shirley Temple's Captain January(1936), Just Around the Corner(1938), and Susannah of the Mounties(1939).
Each movie has the original black & white as well as a colorized version. There are subtitles in English and Spanish.
Also included is the trailer for Susannah of the Mounties along with two Shirley Temple newsreels(Stage dedication to Will Rogers and A pony for Shirley's 8th birthday).
A nice collection for fans of Shirley Temple.
