...course of the film), they discover that they don't really want to live free off the land, only steal from it. Tragedy strikes, and comedy. The youngest foul-mouthed wanderer gets his head blown open for trying to steal a pie off a farmhouse windowsill; a raid on a stagecoach is foiled when the planned decoy enters the carriage and rides away. Except for Jake and Drew, the group breaks apart with several ingenious brands of double-cross...
