Outside the jail, he discovers life is harsh, and tries to get arrested after failing to get a decent job.
He runs into an orphaned gamine girl ( Paulette Goddard ), who is fleeing the police after stealing a loaf of bread.
To save the girl, he tells police that he is the thief and ought to be arrested.
A witness reveals his deception and he is freed.
To get arrested again, he eats an enormous amount of food at a cafeteria without paying.
He meets up with the gamine in the paddy wagon, which crashes, and the girl convinces the reluctant factory worker to escape with her.
Dreaming of a better life, he gets a job as a night watchman at a department store, sneaks the gamine into the store, and even lets burglars have some food.
Waking up the next morning in a pile of clothes, he is arrested once more.
