He succeeds several times, each time butting in on the scene and being thrown out. The picture that Vera is making is about an escaped convict. In a nearby prison a convict is about to be executed. He make his escape and Bobby buys his convict suit from him in order to get into the picture with Vera. The guards capture him, believing him to be the escaped convict. He finally escapes from them and flees to Vera and begs her to save him.
