A young man leaves his town and goes to the capital, La Coruña, to work with a relative in an emigration shipping company. He soon discovers that the boss extorts the emigrants he sells tickets to and even tries to steal the papers from one of them. But he, who is an honest and sensitive man, cannot consent to such injustice and returns the papers to the emigrant so that he can embark so that he ends up being fired with no money and without finding a job and without telling him or anyone about what happened. His parents or his girlfriend, he makes the decision to embark as a stowaway on a ship that goes to America.[2]
