When Al May comes home with a bag of stolen payroll money and being pursued by a posse, his younger half brother, Charlie, grabs the money and runs, letting himself get caught and taking the rap for Al. What he wants is acceptance by his dad and his brother, who blame him for his mother’s running off with another man years before. Since Lily insists he’s innocent and begs Dan to do something, he comes up with a plan to expose the truth.
