## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A 1929 gangster musical without bullets but with custard pies. When a low-level nice guy falls for the singer he’s not supposed to, the city’s cream pies start flying faster than his plans. You’ll leave remembering the pies, not the plot, but the music helps.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, playful
