Steve Nichols, attired in full evening dress, asks where he can get an alcoholic drink.

The surprised man tells Steve since Prohibition in the United States was repealed he can find one anywhere.

Steve candidly replies that he has just been released from prison for good behaviour and would return for five years of his sentence if he acted violently.

The student, encouraged by the fact that Steve won't give him any problems, publicly abuses Mae in the club.

Steve can find no work without references as well as his prison record except for walking the streets as a human billboard for one dollar a day.
