Two Seconds

John Allen has flashback of his life leading up to his execution. He is a riveter by trade, but he goes out and gets drunk and marries Shirley, a dance hall girl. His roomie and co-worker Bud is against the union, but Allen won't back down. They argue at work at the top of a 6" steel beam, and Bud falls to his death. Allen, in a deep depression, hits a big windfall on the horses and goes to find Shirley.
