Nino Culotta arrives in Australia fresh off the boat. He comes to Sydney as an Italian journalist on behalf of an Italian publishing house, to tell the readers at home all about his life Down Under and what it's like to emigrate. He had thought he spoke English, and was proud of his refined mastery of the language, but he's never heard anything like the language these 1950s working-class Australians are speaking.
