Plot
A baby boy is found abandoned in a Hell's Kitchen tenement and subsequently is raised by three men: a German delicatessen owner (Sterling), a Jewish tailor (Sidney), and an Irish street cleaner (Cameron). They adopt the boy and raise him as their own. The timeline jumps 20 years into their future. The now-grown Mike (Lyon) resists going to college because he does not wish to be a financial burden to his adoptive fathers, however a pretty Italian girl, Mary (Colbert) working at the delicatessen convinces him to go.
Mike enrolls at Yale and gains a reputation as a sports hero. He disavows his three fathers, which leads to the Irishman giving him a thrashing in front of the boy's best friends. He begins to associate with gamblers and ends up owing them money. To settle his debts, they demand he purposely lose the school's big rowing match with Harvard. His three fathers and the girl come to support him during the race, and he defies the gamblers and wins the race. His three fathers then come forward to confront and deal with the gamblers.

The Love
When you finally fade from those nights you spend
Doing god only knows with your new friends.
When you decide to come back you always can. Oh.
Our lives are seperate roads We've picked our seperate
ways
But this love I've found reminds me every day
That I still belive in you
I still have faith.
I have faith that you'll find your way.
And relize your mistakes. Cause I can't handle another
night alone.
And so I'm try'n to find words to convince you to stay.
Try'n to pick myself up
But you're getting away.
I keep falling down.
The words won't come out.
My tongue twists in circles keeps them trapped in my
mouth.
But I need the ocean or it's sand
Or the high that I felt when you first held my hand.
And honey I just can't feel right alone. Alone.
Is there hope for this?
Cause it's you that I miss.
And I can't handle another night alone.
~Instrumental Break~
Please stop the sound in the story line.
I'm falling apart
Watch me as I unravel tonight.
And sleep through my changing life.
Cause I can't handle another long goodbye.
Another sleepless night.
