drama
The boy; the girl; elderly gentleman; drunk driver; Bugg
After bidding the girl farewell the boy wanders in search of work until he is sole witness of a fatal car crash. Stealing the victim's good clothes he returns to the city, watching the girl from afar, but the only work he can find is as a strikebreaker, which he refuses to be. Desperately he attempts crime but is scared off by a passing policeman. At length he sells his blood to the bedridden elderly gentleman, who needs a transfusion. With those few dollars in his pocket he makes a glum reunion with the girl, on a downward roller coaster.
