The Threepenny Opera

London’s underground world: the elegant gang boss Mackie Messer falls in love with the beautiful Polly, daughter of beggar king Peachum, and plans to marry her.

In a dusty underground warehouse - the room lavishly prepared with goods
stolen from London′s top shops - the wedding is attended by a crowd of
beggars and thieves, as well as Tiger Brown, police chief and Mackie’s
best friend. Peachum, however, strongly opposes the marriage. He puts
pressure on Tiger Brown to send Mackie to the gallows, threatening to
organize a beggars′ revolt to disrupt the queen′s upcoming coronation if
the police chief does not accede to his wishes.
