When Ben Bolted
Narrative Synopsis
Ben and his pal Paddy, a couple of drifting loafers and con-men, arrive in town via a "side-door Pullman" - a free ride in a boxcar. They set up a printing press, and start printing counterfeit money, get involved with a couple of swell-looking towns-girls (even when looked at crooked by Ben), and get highly inebriated.
