Movie description:
An immigration drama with comic elements about an orphan boy who moves in with a poor old sea captain when he arrives in the United States. Later, it turns out that he has a wealthy grandmother, who takes care of him and the captain.
Seven-year-old Jackie Blair, the son of poor immigrants, is orphaned and, leaving Ellis Island, finds his way into the home of a hard-bitten ex-seaman, Captain Bill. Despite his initial misgivings, the Captain grows fond of the boy. Tension mounts when officials attempt to take Jackie away for deportation, and the Captain tries to find a way to keep him safe.
Jackie Blair’s father was killed in France. His mother died traveling in steerage. This leaves little Jackie Blair alone when he appears at Ellis Island, and the immigration officials want to send him right back. Captain Bill appears on the scene asking for a job – but he’s too old and no one wants him. He sees lonely little Jackie, pities him and asks the eight Pinkosuwitz children to include him in their games. Thus, the Captain unwittingly engineers Jackie’s escape. The orphan is mixed in with the Pinkosuwitzes when they leave the immigration building. When they find they’ve gained a ninth child, they send him on his way. This leaves Jackie to follow Captain Bill back to his very modest home – for which the old salt is unable to pay the rent. Jackie tries to make himself useful. He even sings and dances with an organ grinder to make money for the Captain’s medicine. Little does either guess that Jackie’s wealthy grandmother has everyone in immigration looking for the boy. When Jackie turns up at the matron’s party for unfortunate children, he may be reunited with her. Or he may go to jail when he’s suspected of stealing her hand-bag.
