The Immigrants

Overview

A young Italian immigrant claws his way through the wreckage of the San Francisco earthquake and builds a shipping empire. He secures his place among Nob Hill's elite by marrying the daughter of the city's richest family, though the union is cold. True happiness comes only with his Asian mistress. But when the Wall Street crash shatters his fortune, he faces the ruins of his life, clinging to the love that survived it all.
