People have their own bents, and that includes Tony Capone and Roger from Nebraska. After what Tony did earlier in attempting to take down Blue Knight, one would think he would go away quietly. That he would unhappily accept the inevitability of his sentencing for attempted murder and subsequent incarceration. However, as Roger/Blue Knight discovers, that is not Tony's way. Roger is one who does not shy away from making important decisions. It's not surprising that he resolves to leave Rosie's Rooming House. The longer he is there, the greater is the likelihood of Rosie's being linked to Blue Knight. He cannot risk the safety of the other roomers and Rosie. Roger proceeds with the move unaware it is taking place on the same day as Tony's court sentencing. The situation shifts into high gear when escaping Capone uses hostages to hold back police. The already tense pursuit heightens as Tony warns off the followers. Roger and his friend Ned are shocked to learn what is happening. They immediately put the move on hold and give themselves over to apprehending Capone. However, Tony's poorly thought-out getaway zigs and zags as he continuously adjusts the direction of his escape.
