However, he is constantly haunted by his past and struggles to find acceptance in society. Tony's attempts to turn his life around are complicated by a cast of eccentric characters, including a wealthy widow who takes an interest in him, a group of bumbling policemen, and a scheming rival who threatens to ruin his reputation.
