Gangaram Mahes is a homeless thief who prefers going to jail where he can get three square meals everyday.
Occasionally, when he's not in jail for a repeated offence, he is living the life eating a good meal at a decent restaurant and wearing clean clothes but when he runs out of money, he perpetrates a crime and calmly waits for the police to pick him up and to send him to a cell at Riker's Island where he is guaranteed three meals a day.
