The Illegal Immigrant

With the help of a crime syndicate, Chang Chun-chiu travels from Canton to New York’s Chinatown by way of Hong Kong.

There, he enters into a sham marriage with the sister of a friend in order to obtain a green card and works at a Canal Street sweatshop to pay off his debts.

Immigration authorities, however, soon become suspicious when they discover Chang not living together with his wife.
