Bugsy Malone is a slapstick musical comedy. Set in the 1920's prohibition era, it follows the rivalry between two half-witted street gangs (Fat Sam's and Dandy Dan's Gang) and our hero Bugsy Malone.

Prohibition Era 1920's

A city full of mobsters, showgirls, and dreamers. Rival gangster bosses Fat Sam and Dandy Dan are at loggerheads. The custard pies are flying and Dandy Dan’s gang has gotten the upper hand since obtaining the new-fangled “splurge” gun. Now, Fat Sam and his bumbling buffoons are in real trouble!

Enter Bugsy Malone, a penniless one-time boxer and all-around nice guy. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but will he be able to resist songstress Tallulah and stay out of trouble long enough to help Fat Sam to defend his business…?

This musical is a noir spoof, the message is one of good, clean fun; the characters are wonderful cartoon cutouts; and the weapons of choice are "splurge" whip cream guns, flour bombs, and custard pies.
