От закрытия его агентство может спасти лишь чудо, например — сверхталантливое дитя, которое могло бы стать звездой рекламных роликов. И как ни странно, чудо происходит. В один прекрасный миг оно появляется — 10-летняя «сиротка» Энджи, карманница, врунья и потрясающая нахалка, она совершенно очаровывает миллионы телезрителей.

New Faces was a musical revue with songs and comedy skits tied together by a quirky plot. It ran on Broadway for nearly a year in 1952 and was then made into a motion picture in 1954.

The film was basically a reproduction of the stage revue with a thin plot added.
