Synopsis
A Jewish sweatshop seamstress contributes her meager earnings to her boyfriend's college education, but he falls into the hands of a marriage broker, who matches him with a wealthy girl. Given a beating by the seamstress' brother just before the wedding, the boy awakens to the girl's sacrifices and is reunited with her. (Sources are somewhat confusing about the story line. The boy may be Irish and have a Jewish stepfather. There is also a vague reference to a comedy scene on a tenement roof involving some Italians. Sound sequences include singing children, a cantor singing a wedding prayer, and some shouting during the wedding.)
