## Plot

This movie is set during the Great Depression with six year old orphan Inigo. Inigo was left alone at an orphanage when he was a baby. The only stuff he received from his relatives was half of a necklace, a bracelet and a message from his mom and dad saying that they will return for him. The orphanage is run by the mean Miss Ginger. In midnight, after being tired of waiting for his parents, Inigo attempts to escape to look for them but is caught by Miss Ginger. When Miss Ginger gets distracted, Inigo hides in the trashcan and he succeeds in running away. While outside alone, Inigo makes friends with a cat named Taro but the police catches him and returns him back to the orphanage. When millionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to bring home an orphan for Christmas Day, his secretary, Grace Farrell, chooses Inigo. He is brought to his rich house and bathes in a luxurious life. Even though he at first was uncomfortable with Inigo, Warbucks is soon charmed by him. He wants to adopt Inigo but Inigo still wants to look for her biological parents so he announces on the radio a $100,000 reward for anyone who can prove they are his real mom and dad. The orphans tell Miss Ginger and she, her brother Rooster and his crush Lily Saint Regis make an idea to get the reward by posing as Youji and Miki Sasaki. When Lily proves to be very risky for the idea, Miss Ginger takes over as Inigo's mom. Lily is left with the orphans after Miss Ginger and Rooster leave, but Lily accidentally tells the secret. The orphans make her tell them what is going on, and she realizes that Rooster could leave her hanging as he has done before in the past. She and the orphans come to Warbucks' mansion where Lily demands her part in the cut while the orphans quote "WE LOVE YOU MISS GINGER" as Miss Ginger tries to run by Lily. While fleeing from the orphans, Miss Ginger and Rooster are intercepted upon the arrival of President Franklin D. Roosevelt along with his Secret Service. The President reads the papers that identifies Miss Ginger, Rooster, and Lily while also mentioning the aliases of the latter two. Rooster and Lily are both arrested by the Secret Service as Rooster tells Lily that she loused up. Miss Ginger lies that the scheme was Rooster's idea, then tries to convince Annie to vouch for her to avoid being arrested, but Annie says she would and states that Miss Ginger taught her to "never tell a lie". This causes Miss Ginger to lose her sanity and she is carted off to a lunatic asylum with Rooster and Lily also being escorted out of the mansion to jail. President Franklin D. Roosevelt then presents the evidence to Inigo that his biological parents are Betty and James Fleming but sadly, they both died years earlier which explains why they never came back for him. Even though Inigo is sad because his biological parents died, he is cheered up when Warbucks takes him in as one of his own. The president ensures a happy ending for all as he promises that each of the orphans will be adopted by a stable family. Grace becomes Warbucks' fiance and Inigo lives happily with his new mom and dad.
