At the corner stands a luxury shop where the plate-glass window is conspicuous(引人注目的). Soapy takes a cobblestone and dashes it through the glass, after that, he indicates to a cop that it is he who vandalizes the plateglass window. But the cop doesn’t think a person who does something illegal will wait to be punished, so he decides to pursue an innocent bystander.
Summary
A New York City hobo(流浪汉) named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so he can avoid sleeping in the cold winter as a guest of the city jail. Despite efforts at petty theft(小偷小摸), vandalism(破坏行为), disorderly conduct(扰乱治安 行为), and “mashing” with a young prostitute(妓 女), Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolately(愁闷地), he pauses in front of a church, where an anthem inspires him to clean up his life — and is ironically(讽刺地) charged for loitering(流浪罪) and sentenced to three months in prison.
• 3. Soapy decides to clean up his life after hearing an anthem. But alas, he is sentenced to three months in prison.
