A nine-year-old schoolboy sells newspapers in the streets of Tallinn. The sales of the active and sincere young man are crowned with success.

Märten is an optimistic and active boy whose sales go well, despite the fact that selling fifteen newspapers requires stamina and optimistic attitude. He won't lose his nerve when people won't buy, and when he meets competitors and even phonies. Märten charms people with his sincerity and earns even tips. The boy has a heart even to give money to beggars.
