Rags follows the story of Charlie Prince, his greedy, unloving stepfather (Arthur), spoiled stepbrothers (Andrew and Lloyd) and Kadee, a superstar with a simple-mis the music mogul father, Reginald Worth. Rags begins with Drake Bell's/Shawn's narration of the story. Then Charlie is seen performing for money on the street, where Shawn appears to "listen to his dream," and tells him he should be on an album. The next scene shows Kadee performing. Kadee is secretly frustrated with singing songs other people chose for her. Kadee wants the world to hear and see her for who she truly is. Charlie appears once again, singing and cleaning at his home (a karaoke place) where his stepfather appears to express his dislike towards Charlie (here it's understood that Charlie's mother is "gone" and has left everything to his stepfather). Later when Kadee's dog runs towards Charlie (on his way to put a CD in the talent search box) he and Kadee look at each other for a moment. Charlie's stepbrothers, who call themselves "Androyd," have no singing talent, but their father thinks otherwise. Once dropping off the CD Charlie sings up to work as a Janitor for Majesty Records, where Shawn makes sure that he gets the job. Later Charlie goes into a pawn shop, to pay money so he can buy his mom's piano back, which was sold by his stepfather. Working as a janitor for Majesty Records, Charlie has the opportunity to "mess around" and sing in the recording studio, unaware that Shawn is inside. Shawn startled by him listens and starts to record him. This is where Shawn decides to make an album for Charlie. Kadee follows Charlie to the pawn shop where Charlie discovers that Kadee isn't true to her music, knowing this he tries to help her. Kadee gives Charlie a party invitation to the Majesty Records' Masquerade, after helping her express her true self by having her sing her own music in public. Charlie, late for his curfew, sneaks in through the restroom window, where his stepfather waits for him. After walking away Arthur follows Charlie and snatches the invitation from him. Once seeing it's an invitation to Majesty Records' Masquerade he steals it from Charlie saying that instead of it going to waste, by letting Charlie go, he's going to use it to get "Androyd" into the party to perform, to make Reginald Worth regret rejecting them. Diego and Martha, who works for Charlie's stepfather, decide to help Charlie go to the party by making a suit for him out of stage curtains and make a blindfold for him so Arthur won't recognize him. At the party, Charlie (disguised) almost gets caught by his stepfather, dances with Kadee, and sings "Not So Different At All." Charlie also kisses Kadee, and, before leaving tells her "Just Be You." But before leaving he drops his demo ("RAGS"), which Shawn gave him, and it's picked up by Kadee. The next day Kadee tries to talk her dad to help her search for Rags but he says no so instead she visits Charlie and presents him with music from Rags' demo, unaware that he is Rags. After that, he tries to tell Kadee that he's Rags, but she's listening to Rags' music and doesn't hear him. Later Lloyd confronts Charlie saying that he knows he is Rags, but instead of snitching him out he congratulates him and tries to get him to admit to Kadee that he is Rags. Andrew overhears their conversation and looks through Charlie's thing, and finds the lyrics to "Someday" (the song required for Kadee's Rags audition search) and shows it to Arthur. Charlie goes to the auditions to "help" Kadee find Rags there before auditions start he tells her not to worry and tells her "Just Be You." Then his stepbrother (who is truly evil) shows up and tells him that his stepfather wants him. Arthur confronts him about Rags and locks Charlie in a closet but, when Charlie is banging on the door, Kadee's dog overheard his banging on the door. He ran toward two of Kadee's friends to help Charlie. However it was too late. Andrew had already gone on and "proven" he is Rags. Charlie disappointed is ready to move out and is about to leave when Kadee stops him and and asks him to stay, at least until she introduces Rags. Kadee surprises everyone by saying that she knows Rags is really Charlie. Later Lloyd, having being betrayed by Arthur and Andrew, reveals that Charlie's mom had left the place (now a karaoke place) to Charlie not Arthur. Charlie and Kadee are on the stage standing together and the scene fades to another day where they are on the same stage, now boyfriend and girlfriend. Diego and Martha are shown to run Charlie's shop, Lloyd is a backup dancer, and Arthur and Andrew are cleaning toilets. Charlie had gotten his "fairytale ending." Read more on Last.fm.
