Suddenly, even this retreat was not enough, and George began to act mechanically, to take one step after another toward revenge and release.During the dizzy, dreamlike weeks that followed, George embarked on a headlong flight into unreality. Under a series of assumed names he ran from drink to drink, from woman to woman, from city to city, and he learned what unlimited money can buy—and what it cannot. Saved finally from total self-destruction by his capture, and by a girl who shows him the futility of running any further, George pays his debt to society and comes to terms with himself; the moving story of his great rebellion comes to an end on a note of hope.
