In 1926, British wizard and "magizoologist" Newt Scamander arrives in New York City.

Since the suitcase is Jacob’s which contains his baked goods, Newt is released.

Jacob and Queenie are mutually attracted, though it is illegal for wizards and witches to have any social relationship with No-Majs in America.
