The story

Karel Novak, a naive Czechoslovak immigrant, arrives at Ellis Island with $58, thinking he only needed $50 to enter the United States, only to discover that the immigration fee has since been raised to $200. Unable to pay, Karel is placed on a steamship for deportation, but jumps out of a porthole and is fished out of the East River by a group of dock workers, losing his wallet in the process. He wanders the streets of Manhattan and into a theatre where he eats a doughnut left by chorus girls.
