Pat Crowley robs Bart so she can pay off a debt owed by her father. Sheriff Ray Teal hates to eat alone and lets Bart watch. The "three cities" are Gold Flats, Brotherly and Hampton Center. The Ladies Aid in Brotherly is having a luncheon, and each lady is bringing her specialty. Bart presents himself as a reformed gambler in order to get fed. He charms the women while recognizing Pat by her ring and her perfume. Bart was a ladies' man and a good one to learn from. While incarcerated, the Ladies Aid brings him breakfast and a comfortable bed. They bring him an easy chair, cigars and a copy of "Lorna Doone." Looker Pat Crowley is a sweetie: "Bart, I don't want you to get hurt!"
