soon returns to Los Angeles. There, in a diner, Sullivan meets a struggling young actress who has failed to make it in Hollywood and is just about to give up and go home. She believes he is a penniless tramp and buys him breakfast. In return for her kindness, Sullivan retrieves his car from his estate and gives her a ride. He neglects to tell his servants that he has returned, however, so they report the car stolen. Sullivan and the girl are briefly apprehended by police, but let free. He and the girl return to his palatial mansion. After seeing how wealthy he is, the girl shoves him into his swimming pool for deceiving her. However, when he insists on going out again, she goes with him, over his objections, disguised as a boy. This time Sullivan succeeds. After riding in a cattle car, eating in soup kitchens and sleeping in homeless shelters with the girl (where someone steals his shoes), Sullivan finally decides he has had enough. His experiment is publicized by the studio as a huge success. The girl wants to stay with him, but Sullivan reveals to her that he is married, lovelessly, to someone else, having entered the union solely to reduce his income taxes. Worse, the plan backfired, with Sullivan's joint returns higher than when he was single and his wife's having an affair with his business manager. Sullivan decides to thank the homeless for the insights he's gained by handing out five-dollar bills, but is knocked unconscious, has his money stolen, and is stuffed in a boxcar leaving the city by the assailant. The thief then gets run over by another train, sending $5 bills raining everywhere. When the mangled body is found a special ID card his valet had sewn into Sullivan's shoes is discovered in the sole of the pair the man has on, identifying him as Sullivan. Great woe in Hollywood follows. Meanwhile, Sullivan wakes up in another city, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. A yard bull finds him and accosts him for illegally entering the rail yard. In his confused state, Sullivan hits the man with a rock, badly injuring him and earning a six year sentence of hard labor in a work camp. He gradually regains his memory. In the camp, he attends a showing of Walt Disney's 1934 Playful Pluto
