When the tramp meets the blind flower girl, he instantly falls in love with the young woman. He pretends to be wealthy and gets involved in the most absurd adventures in order to finance the necessary operation for her. For example, the tramp hires himself out as a prizefighter, where he has little success. Finally, he meets a millionaire, who is only well-disposed towards the Tramp when he is drunk.
