As a boy, he stole food to feed his poor family. Later, he turned to crime to impress a gang moll, Jo-Anne, and became ruthless after being rejected by the girl he loved, Doll, and his own lawyer when he was arrested as the infamous Lover's Lane Bandit. Despite his lawyer's efforts, Whit continues to study law and wins stay after stay, including two within minutes of his scheduled execution.
