A realistic portrayal of a young Puerto Rican battling the odds in gritty New York City. Lead Alcalde arrives in the Big Apple and is determined to find a wife and a job. In a ray of optimism shining against the backdrop of the dark metropolis, Alcalde succeeds at both. The dark side is seen when his crazy, bigoted landlord threatens to bomb his wedding ceremony. A convincing cast treats the audience to a thespian delight in this picture photographed by Kaufman, Oscar-winning cameraman of ON THE WATERFRONT
