The film opens on a steamship crossing the Atlantic, featuring the misadventures of the Little Tramp, Charlie Chaplin's iconic character. The humorous scenes include the Tramp's playful act of fishing while appearing seasick and his antics aboard the swaying ship. Along the way, he befriends an unnamed immigrant woman who, along with her ailing mother, has been robbed. The Tramp, winning money in a card game, tries to help them but is mistaken for a pickpocket.

Upon reaching America, the Tramp and the woman part ways. Later, hungry and broke, the Tramp finds a coin but loses it in a restaurant. The story takes a turn when an artist offers them a job posing for a painting. Despite several comic attempts to retrieve a fake coin, the Tramp manages to pay for their meal with the artist's tip, leaving the waiter perplexed.

In the rain outside a marriage license office, the Tramp proposes to the woman, who initially resists until he carries her into the office, concluding the story with a touch of humor and romance.
