  An illiterate Calabrian in southern Italy owes money to his church and mayor. He skips town for the bustling streets of New York. Meeting an old friend, a fellow immigrant, he thanks him for help getting settled, and then steals his money. By pluck, luck, and unscrupulous business practices, this cunning character 'makes America'.
