Annie (played by Emma Horick) is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan (Leslie Holmes).

In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (B.G. Prater) and finds a new family and home in billionaire Oliver Warbucks (Bryan Kessinger), his personal secretary Grace Farrell (Jenna Horick) and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
