Plot summary

Danny is a young adult from a wealthy family. He runs away from home because his parents are divorcing. Hopping into a railroad boxcar, Danny meets Bix Dugan, a long-time drifter who agrees to mentor Danny. Danny's naivete leads him to a variety of precarious situations from which Bix must extract him.

Stopping in small town, Danny and Bix get jobs in a diner. Bix becomes romantically involved with the waitress Carrie and re-examines his lifestyle. This earns him the ire of Jesse, a troubled character in the town who is fixated on Carrie.

In a fit of jealousy, Jesse assaults Carrie, but Bix is accused of her subsequent death. Carrie's father Cal attacks Bix in a drunken rage before Danny forces Jesse to confess.
