This MGM short film, part of John Nesbitt's "Passing Parade" series, looks at the Bowery district in New York City. In mid-1941, the Bowery is full of bars, cheap restaurants, and pawn shops; the film follows a man who has just arrived in the area. Like many others in the Bowery he's unemployed and has no place to stay. He takes refuge in a church and finds that he can get a hot meal, clean clothes, and a bed for the night. They also help him find work, which lets him go back "uptown".
