[1] As a prank, college student William Lewis and some of his friends, including Sid Burns, break into a house.
Will leaves town to escape, and moves to a big city where he meets and falls in love with Alice Hammond.
But one day Sid arrives into the city and threatens to expose Will's past, unless Will helps him with a bank robbery.
During that time, he tries to escape and succeeds, although the guards think they have shot him as he attempted to flee, and report to his wife Alice that he has died.
