The first thing the convict does when he is aboard the Red Cross steamboat is drink a glass of whiskey with the local doctor. The whiskey makes the convict drunk and angry and he tries to start a fight with another man. The convict loses and beings to bleed heavily from his wounds. The doctor takes a look a questions whether the convict suffers from hemophilia. The convict is so drunk he thinks that the doctor is calling him a hermaphrodite, which infuriates him further.
