A family who tolls in the fields all day get a letter from a relative in America, who pays their way to join him. They have dreams of America is like, and we see them! Free Candy! Free Horse Rides! After a 3 minute boat ride, they get there, and it's not a idealistic country they immigrated to! A bit of a surprise, not exactly sunshine and roses.. Though it did have somewhat of a happy ending.
