Plot synopsis
Three American workers, Sam, Mary and a black man, Tom, fired from the Ford plant during the crisis, come to the Soviet Union. Not wanting to live in the same room with a person of an "inferior race", Sam kicks Tom out of the dormitory. The Soviet workers, outraged by the American's outrageous behavior, declare a boycott of Sam and convince him to abandon his racial prejudices and make peace with Tom.
