Plot summary
Two drifters, Chick Miller and Scrap Iron Scratch, walk out of jail where they served time for vagrancy and head to Union Depot to catch a train out of town. In a public washroom Chick opens a suitcase left behind by a drunken passenger and finds toiletries, a double-breasted suit and cash in a pocket. Dressed in the suit, he buys a meal at the depot diner and meets Ruth Collins, a chorus girl with no work. She needs sixty-four dollars for a ticket to Salt Lake City and shows him a telegram about a job there. She also says that Dr. Bernardi, a man from her boarding house, has been following her. Chick offers her the money freely. While waiting outside, Scrap Iron finds a wallet in the alley.
