It's about the newsie (a child who sold newspapers, sometimes an orphan, sometimes a kid trying to support their family) strike back in 1899 against Pulitzer, who, for selfish reasons, rose the price 1/10 of a cent higher per paper (which may not seem like a lot, but it really was to these kids). So, the newsies decided that they would strike against Pulitzer and Hearst. It's like, one of the biggest children's crusades or something. It's a musical, though, and contains great singers and dancers as well as actors. It doesn't sound that great, but, trust me, it's a great movie.
