Synopsis

Ann chooses Wes over Buddy, because “he’ll make good in business” while Buddy is just “going to be a school teacher” and “hasn’t much.” Ann urges Wes to steal a school bus as a prank, but when it crashes, Buddy rescues the injured Wes from the flames. Ann now tells Buddy she prefers him, but he says “you love no one but yourself.”
