Plot: Tony comes to America, leaving his wife in Italy until he has made a home for her. He works as a laborer and saves every cent possible. Tony shares a tenement room with an organ-grinder, a monkey and Rosso, another laborer. A letter from Marie tells of a baby born to them and Tony has almost enough saved to furnish a little home. One night in the dark, Rosso attempts to rob the sleeping organ-grinder. The monkey chatters and awakens his master, who fights Rosso. Tony awakes and interferes. He gets the money and a knife from Rosso, who escapes, but the organ-grinder has been stabbed and thinks Tony did it. Dying, he tells the police, and Tony is jailed. Tony had written Marie to come to America. She arrives and finds Tony after a long search, but is helpless. She and the baby live on Tony's saving for a while. She nurses a sick man in the next room, who turns out to be Rosso. Before dying, he confesses and Tony is freed.
