Synopsis by Hal Erickson

One More American represented one more superb "ethnic" portrayal by the versatile George Beban. The star plays feisty Italian immigrant Luigi Riccardo, the eternal thorn in the side of New York political boss Regan (H.B. Carpenter). Fed up with Riccardo's interference in his graft-grabbing, Regan pulls a few strings and arranges for Riccardo and his family to be shipped back to Europe. But our hero's cause is championed by muckraking newspaper reporter Bump Rundle (Raymond Hatton), who takes on and exposes the Regan political machine. The film was based on The Land of the Free, a play by William C. DeMille, who also directed the screen version.
