Plot

James Frederick Slocum Sr. is disappointed in his son, James Jr., who has repeated run-ins with the law, particularly as it concerns his speeding while driving. He bets his son $25,000 that the son cannot go a full year without being arrested more than once. The son accepts the bet, then hatches a scheme to win it wherein he will get arrested and jailed for the entire year period, thus making it impossible for him to be arrested more than once. To accomplish this, he stages a fight in a bar, during which he demolishes the interior. After his arrest, the judge only sentences him to six months behind bars, so James Jr. insults him, resulting in the judge adding six months for contempt of court. While in jail, he befriends a bank robber, Charles Miller.
