Charlie is on his way to the USA. He wins in a card game, puts the money in Edna's bag (she and her sick mother have been robbed of everything). When he retrieves a little for himself he is accused of being a thief. Edna clears his name. Later, broke, Charlie finds a coin and goes into a restaurant. There he finds Edna, whose mother has died, and asks her to join him. When he reaches for the coin to pay for their meals it is missing.
The beginning of the film was definitely the funniest part of the whole film in my opinion. I didn't like it as much as Charlie's 'The Kid' but it was still an excellent film. Anyways, my copy of the film looks great in my opinion and I can't wait to view it with many in the future.
Before the film started it had a brief history of this film and said that Chaplin had shot as much footage on The Immigrant as most directors would to photograph a feature-length production. In his efforts to continuously refine the film, he exposed more than 90,000 feet of negative (the finished film runs approximately 2,000 feet), and he went four days and nights without rest while editing the film to final length.
