The couple get married and embark on a happy honeymoon on Bart’s savings. Laurie warns him beforehand that she is "bad, but will try to be good". When their money runs out, though, she gives Bart a stark choice: join her in a career of crime or she will leave him. They hold up stores and gas stations, but the money does not last long. While fleeing a police car, Laurie tells Bart to shoot at the driver so they can escape, but he hesitates and becomes somewhat disoriented. Ultimately, he shoots the tire out and the car crashes. Later that day, Laurie intends to shoot and kill a grocer they had just robbed, but Bart prevents her from doing so. The couple have now been identified in national newspapers as notorious robbers.
