Arriving in New York, Kathleen obtains a position in a sweatshop, where she remains until a strike is declared owing to the cut in wages. She next finds employment in a department store but partly through homesickness and lack of proper food she becomes ill and is discharged. Mrs. Flynn, her kind-hearted landlady, calls in a doctor, who quickly diagnoses her case as one of homesickness. Mrs. Flynn insists that Kathleen take her savings to pay her passage back to Ireland. We next see Kathleen on board ship sailing toward her loved ones. Arriving in the little Irish hamlet she is welcomed with open arms by her father and mother. Going down to the beach she finds her sweetheart, Brian, just coming in from a fishing trip, and the good lad's constancy is rewarded when he feels Kathleen's arms about his neck and hears her promise never more to stray from Erin's Isle.
