He goes into what he thinks is an all-night movie theater to sleep for the night. Turns out it's not an all-night movie after all. A pretty teenage girl who works at theater wakes him up when the movie's over and tells him he has to go home. He says he has no home. She invites him out for coffee, and the movie ends. The epilog on the screen tells us that he marries her after two weeks and that he is currently (present day as of 1987) 57 years old.

You forgot the part about where after he was arrested the judge sentenced him to six years in a juvenile prison where he escaped and went to Nevada, which is where he met the girl mentioned above.

I was appalled at the sentence but looking backwards in time, today SHE would have gotten 7 years and he would be treated as a poor misunderstood boy who was completely taken advantage of and will probably be scarred for life.

Good God but our civilization has gone crazy. We do from one crazy to another one.

They who give up liberty to
obtain a temporary safety deserve
neither liberty or safety
