Based on the popular comic strip, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan's orphanage, spunky Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So, when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks' whopping reward for Annie's parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward.

Will Annie ever find her parents? Maybe.

Will Miss Hannigan ever find a man and escape the clutches of Little Girls?

Will Rooster and Lily ever live on Easy Street?

Will President Roosevelt provide a ‘New Deal’ for the Hooverites?

Will the orphans no longer live a Hard-Knock life?

Only one thing is for certain…You can bet your bottom dollar that the sun will come out tomorrow.
