Plot

This 1931 classic with Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp is a simple story of romance and comedy. The Tramp sees a beautiful blind girl selling flowers on the sidewalk. He falls in love, but she mistakes him for a wealthy duke. He learns she could see again if she had an operation, but her poor family cannot afford it. He is determined to raise the money so she can have the operation and see again. During his quest, he lands in jail. An erratic wealthy friend helps the girl have the operation. The highlight of the film is when she learns that her benefactor is a tramp and not a wealthy duke.
