The story

In New York City in the 1870s, as the city prepares for the upcoming election, corrupt political boss William Tweed and his Tammany Hall political machine are working hard to re-elect their candidates, including Mayor Oakley, in order to continue exploiting the coffers of the city and state. The one voice opposing Boss Tweed's organization is John Matthews, a young naïve reporter for The New York Times. When Irish immigrant Timothy Moore and his singing daughter Rosie arrive in New York City hoping for a better life, they are set upon immediately by Rogan, one of Boss Tweed's men.
