An elderly woman finds a baby in her cabbage patch and he grows up to be Francesco Golisano. He ends up living with tramps in a vacant lot and uses his innate charm and organizational abilities to help build an intricate shanty town that improves all of their lives. Conflict arises when a wealthy business man buys the lot and wants to shove them all out.
There's something very appealing and Chaplinesque about this film with it's lovable tramp lead, it's intricate sets and "the little guy vs rich guy" plot. I really loved the first two acts. I wasn't quite so taken with the final part that delves deeply into fantasy, but it's still a lovely little film.
