Jackie BIair (Coogan) is a young immigrant on his way to America who is orphaned when his mother dies during the voyage. Upon his arrivaI at EIlis lsIand, with no guardian or reIative to claim him, Jackie faces deportation. Learning of Jackie's misfortune from the officiaIs, Old Captian Hicks (GilIingwater) takes pity on the boy and encourages him to play with the other chiIdren. When Jackie gets mixed up with a large famiIy, he is accidentalIy reIeased and finds himseIf aIone on the city streets where he spots his "friend" the captain and foIlows him home. The captain isn't happy about his new guest and determines to return him to the authorities. That is, untiI Jackie's affection for the crusty old man begins to melt his heart.
