The Roaring Twenties
(1929, Gangster warfare in New York) Dandy Dan’s hoodlums terrorise the district, exterminating undesirables with their new weapon splurge guns. His rival is Smooth Sam Stacetto, who runs the Grand Slam Speakeasy, but Smooth Sam’s gang still use old fashioned pies.
Smooth Sam engages the help of Bugsy Malone, a smooth city slicker who hitherto has been more occupied in sweet talking Blousey Brown, a would be girl singer. With Bugsy’s help, Smooth Sam escapes from a frame up, but he learns later that Dandy Dan’s mob have splurged nearly all his gang. They’ve also destroyed his sarsparilla and grocery rackets; the whole empire’s gone!
There’s only one hope left. Smooth Sam pays Bugsy 400 dollars in exchange for more help. Bugsy, who has promised to take Blousey to Hollywood, has to break his date with her. Is she mad!
Meanwhile Bugsy and Leroy Smith, a guy with an awesome punch, witness a secret delivery of splurge guns at Dock 17. With a bunch of down and outs, they help themselves to the crates. Then the police arrive, led by Captain Smolsky and Lieutenant O’Dreary. Bugsy and the gang escape through a trapdoor.
Finally Dandy Dan prepares for a showdown at Smooth Sam’s speakeasy. When his mob burst in, Bugsy and the guys let ‘em have it, the works, splurge, custard pies, flour bombs… Out of the gooey pandemonium it emerges that Bugsy and Blousey have made it up.
Peace has broken out at last.
