Kitty from Killarney

To bypass the quota, Kitty slips past a gateman by joining a Jewish family she befriended on the voyage. She is eventually taken in by Papa Levy (Max Davidson), who has since become a successful American citizen. Kitty came to America to reunite with her childhood sweetheart, Eddie (Eddie Quillan), who sent letters claiming to be a "big man in the shoe business". Upon finding Eddie, Kitty discovers he is merely a corner bootblack who has forgotten his Irish roots for a "fancy dame" named Rosa Cremona. Seeking fame, Eddie enters an Amateur Night contest at a local theater as a dancer. His performance is a disaster; he is pelted with vegetables by the audience, ruining a dress suit lent to him by Papa Levy. Realizing Eddie's foolishness, Kitty turns her romantic interests toward Danny (Danny O'Shea), a handsome New York police officer and "true son of Erin".
