Roxy Robinson est abattu dans une impasse par une rafale de tartes à la crème. Dans le New York des années 1920, cet assassinat ne peut que déclencher une terrible guerre des gangs. Les combats sont d'autant plus durs que Dan le Gandin détient l'arme absolue : la mitraillette à crème à répétition. Grâce à cet atout indéniable, il compte bien mettre la ville en coupe réglée. Ce qui ne manque pas de déplaire au plus haut point à son grand rival, Fat Sam, propriétaire d'un cabaret, le "Grand chelem", dont la superbe Tallulah est la vedette. Pour faire tomber son adversaire, Fat Sam engage le séducteur Bugsy Malone, à qui l'argent fait cruellement défaut...

00:00Hello, I'd like to tell you about a new movie. It's a gangster musical called Bugsy Malone and it's kind of unusual because all the parts are played by kids around my age.
00:10Now hold on a minute. I can see a few of you out there choking on your popcorn at the thought of 200 kids in ringlets across the screen.
00:17Look, I'm not too fond of kids myself, but this ain't no ordinary kid's story. Believe me, there ain't never been a movie like it. Take a look.
00:30Your name Robinson? You work with Fat Sam?
00:37So long, lover boy.
00:41New York, 1929. Prohibition. Gang warfare. A world of gangsters, showgirls and dreamers. Bugsy Malone. Quite possibly the most unique motion picture for years.
00:53Everybody loves that man, Bugsy Malone.
00:59But that isn't enough. Bugsy Malone is also the year's major musical.
01:29Long live Betty Boop!

01:42Cheers for Daddy Dad. Hip hip.
01:45Hooray!
01:46Too kind, guys. Too kind.
01:50Fat Sam. Don't forget that. Number one man, top dog Mr. Big.
01:52How about smearing my lipstick?
01:54Careful, Tallulah. Come any closer and I have to call my lawyer.
01:58My name is Tallulah. I live till I die.
02:02I'll take what you give me and I won't ask why.
02:07You're a dime-a-dozen gangster, Sam.
02:09You're a dirty rat, Sam.
02:11So be a man, you know you can't be certain that
02:14You'll lose until you try.
02:16So give it a try.
02:19Put him in the ring, Joe, chicken on a cart.
02:21Let me have a wing, Joe, tearing him apart.
02:23That chicken will crow.
02:25Then he'll call it quits for sure, Joe.
02:30We'll do anything that we want to be.
02:35Every year brings a great movie.
02:37Every decade, a great movie musical.
02:39Bugsy Malone.
02:41There's never ever been a movie like it.
02:43Eat your heart out, Gene Kelly.
