His designs on her are disrupted by the seductive songstress Tallulah who wants Bugsy for herself.

Plot

A gangster movie in which all the gangsters are played by children. Instead of real guns and ammo, they use "splurge guns" that cover the victim in whipped cream. The story tells of the rise of Bugsy Malone and the battle for power between Fat Sam and Dandy Dan.
