River Road Robber Griswold Faces Flight and Duty
Griswold the social rebel robs Bayou State Security and flees on the Belle Julie. He saves a sick tramp, salves a woman’s suspicion, and hides a planned future in Wahaska while Charlotte Farnham discovers his face aboard the river steamer. The scene ends with Griswold sheltered by a salvage effort as Captain Mayfield and crew confront discipline aboard.
