Two drifters, one a rich kid running away from home with a hundred dollars and no street smarts, and the other a professional hobo arrive via freight train at a small town and get into trouble immediately. They begin to romance a couple of the small-town girls. A local creep has the hots for one of the women. As she visits Lovers Lane alone and laments her new loves imminent departure for places unknown, the lurking gargoyle attacks and kills her. Naturally the young drifter is accused of the crime. A lynch mob besieges the jail where he's being held, and the girl's father intends to beat him to perdition.
