Frank Capra tells Damon Runyon's beautiful and hilarious fable. Apple, boozy and brassy Annie, a beggar with an apple basket, is as much a part of downtown New York as the original Broadway.

But Dave and girlfriend Queenie Martin will need a lot more than luck when it becomes clear that Annie is in a pickle and only they can help: Annie's daughter Louise, who has spent her entire life in a Spanish convent, is traveling to America with a Count and his son.
