Synopsis: [From Méliès promotional materials] An operation to restore Scotty’s little girl’s sight would cost two hundred dollars. Scotty had neither the money nor a job, but set out into the world with a firm determination to “make good”. Success came in an odd manner, far different than he had expected. Scotty obtained work to be sure, but it was an unselfish act of heroism that gained for him the reward of the grateful, and indirectly his daughter’s happiness.
