If the poor don\u2019t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they are sent to the dreaded and mysterious \u201cUrinetown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our brave young hero, Bobby Strong, meets a beautiful young woman, Hope Cladwell. Following her advice to \u201cfollow your heart\u201d, Bobby decides enough is enough, and leads the poor in a revolution. Bobby and his friends fight for the freedom to pee \u201cwherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As chance has it, the beautiful Hope is also the daughter of the unloved owner of Urine Good Company, a megalomaniac company with a monopoly on all public amenities.
