- Magnificent Bastard: The title character of "Pretty Boy Floyd" is out with his girlfriend when he gets in a fight with a policeman. After killing the cop, he flees into the countryside and takes up bank robbery. Travelling across the Midwest, Floyd uses his ill-gotten gains to pay people's mortgages and leave thousand-dollar tips. Around Christmastime, Floyd leaves a giant load of food at a shelter for families affected by the Dust Bowl, along with a note chastising the bankers he robs for taking their homes away.
