This highly entertaining film is classic Charlie Chaplin fare. The plot involves the Little Tramp's love for a blind, flower girl (Virginia Cherrill). The story involves a comedy of mistaken identities in which an eccentric millionaire (Harry Myers) only recognizes the Little Tramp when he has been drinking. After a night of drinking, the millionaire gives the Little Tramp $1,000 for the flower girl's rent. After a few misadventures involving burglars in the millionaire's home, the Little Tramp gives the flower girl the money to pay for her rent and an eye operation. The operation is performed, and, later, the Little Tramp sees her through her window and shyly smiles. She goes outside and gives him money and a flower. She recognizes him as her benefactor and all ends happily when she tells him, "I can see."
