More DescriptionTwo worlds collide when Poppy, a street orphan who makes a living by stealing, and Justin, the son of a jeweler who wants to prove his worth, meet and become friends. Poppy plans to change her thieving ways, but when Justin loses money at his father's jewelry store and Poppy is accused of stealing it, she flees back onto the streets.
