In Brooklyn circa 1900, the Nolans manage to enjoy life on pennies despite great poverty and Papas alcoholism. The film presents the family and follows their big and little troubles: Aunt Sissys scandalous succession of "husbands"; the removal of the one tree visible from their tenement; and young Francies desire to transfer to a better school...if irresponsible Papa can get his act together.
In early-1900s Brooklyn, New York, the Nolans are a poor working-class family. Father Johnny is a singing waiter, working whenever he can, though his alcoholism often depletes their meager finances. Mother Katie is a maid. Street-smart children Francie and Neeley do what they can to help out. Francies intelligence and talent as a writer are her and her familys way out of poverty, but the sacrifices required are great.
