Davey and Les, brothers trying to earn money for their family, meet the newsies and try to learn the ropes. Jack agrees to partner with the boys since Les's young age will help him sell more papers, although Davey is skeptical. Meanwhile, Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the World , expresses displeasure at the declining sales of his newspaper and vows to increase profits "The Bottom Line" , even if it is at the expense of the newsies.
At the end of the day, it's clear that Les is a natural newsie. Before Jack and the brothers can part ways, a man appears and chases Jack. Jack introduces them to Medda Larkin, one of the Bowery's most famous performers. Jack explains that the man chasing them is named Snyder; he runs The Refuge, an orphanage that he keeps in squalid conditions and embezzles from. He's had it out for Jack ever since he escaped. Medda offers her theater as a safe haven, and they stay to watch her perform "That's Rich".
During Medda's performance, Jack notices Katherine, a bright young reporter he had seen earlier that day. A smitten Jack makes several attempts to flirt with her, but Katherine, quick-witted and ever-professional, cleverly rebuffs him.
The next day, as the newsies gather at the distribution window, the boys are outraged to learn that Pulitzer has increased their price for newspapers - they can barely afford to eat as it is! After a successful first day of striking, newly elected union leader Jack Kelly assigns some kids to spread the word to newsies in other boroughs. Katherine arrives, hoping that the newsies will give her an exclusive for the Sun.
Jack tells her to be at the distribution window the next morning; not only will the newsies prevent others from selling papers, but they plan to stop the delivery carts as well.
He tells her that they all have a lot riding on her reporting skills, and Katherine gets to work writing her breakout article "Watch What Happens". The next day, Jack arrives to find that only a few kids have assembled to strike. He urges Davey to convince the small group not to back down. When scabs arrive to take the newsies' place, Jack asks them to stand in solidarity with all the city's exploited working children.
The scabs throw down their papers, just in time for Katherine and her photographer to snap a victorious photo "Seize the Day". But soon the newsies engage in a fierce fight with the Delanceys, Wiesel, and the police. Snyder scares Jack away, but not before he watches the Delanceys take down Crutchie and carry him off to The Refuge. Reaching the temporary safety of his rooftop, Jack paces, feeling guilty about leading the kids into danger. He looks out over the city and longs to escape "Santa Fe".
Battered and bruised, the newsies lament the previous day's events at Jacobi's Deli. Amid rumors that Jack was captured, several newsies wonder where he is. Katherine arrives with a copy of the story she published in the Sun , complete with a front-page picture of the newsies.
Ecstatically, they thank her and celebrate their - and Katherine's - fame "King of New York". Meanwhile, Crutchie writes a letter to Jack from The Refuge expressing that he feels no ill will toward Jack and urging the newsies to stick together "Letter from The Refuge".
Davey, Les, and Katherine find Jack back at Medda's Theater and try to convince him to come back to the fight. Jack refuses, saying that they can't win against a man as powerful as Pulitzer. The three convince Jack that theirs is a fight worth fighting "Watch What Happens - Reprise" ; Jack finally agrees, and the kids plan a rally. Discovering Katherine's story, Pulitzer furiously resolves to take down Jack. Just then, a cocky Jack arrives to announce the newsies' rally.
Pulitzer assures Jack that no paper will cover it - and if it's not in the press, it never happened. With the help of reporter Bryan Denton, the newsies get word of the strike out to the whole city, and other child laborers rally to the cause. Jack himself confronts Pulitzer in a battle of wills.
The strike is eventually successful, thanks in part to the intervention of Teddy Roosevelt. A musical. Released on April 10, Spot Conlon : Your honor, I object.
