Loosely based on the 1929 novel Banjo by Claude McKay, Big Fella stars Robeson as Joe, a Marseilles dockworker who is asked by police to help find a young boy missing from an ocean liner. When Joe finally discovers the child (Eldon Grant), he learns that the boy escaped of his own will, and takes him to stay with a local cafe singer, Miranda (Elisabeth Welch). Joe and Miranda become surrogate parents to the boy, offering a welcome change from his wealthy, and somewhat repressed, white parents.
