Shortly afterwards, Uncle Peter drives to the Port of New York to pick them up, but is injured by an automobile accident and taken to a hospital where he lies unidentified. Uncle Peter's disappearance not only causes distress to the three newly arrived Dutch immigrants, but also to a railroad president, Mr. Walton, who is trying to buy the right-of-way through Uncle Peter's farmland and has only three deals left in which to close the deal.
