Betty Brown, a talented writer, but having been unfortunate in selling her stories, starts for a walk to the park. She is caught in a jam in the street traffic and forced to wait at the crossing. Horace Limpton, short story editor for one of the magazines, who, by hard work and reading has weakened his eyes, is told by his physician that he must wear blue glasses and get away from the grind for several weeks until his eyes are well or that he will go blind. Leaving the doctor's office, he reaches the crossing that is congested, stands nervously tapping the pavement with his cane, waiting for a chance to cross. Betty Brown is standing beside him, and, thinking that he is a blind man, takes hold of his arm and volunteers to pilot him across. When they reach the other side of the street, Betty tells him that she is going for a walk and that she will be glad to take him. They walk to the park. They sit on a bench and feed the squirrels. Betty tells how the little fellows are enjoying the nuts. Betty explains that she is a story writer, but has been unable to "place" her manuscripts. At Limpton's request the next day she reads one of her stories to him. He is much impressed with it and volunteers to "place" it for her. The next day when she calls, he hands her a check for $50; he has sold her story. She returns to her lodgings, calls her landlady in and tells of her good fortune and pays her arrears. On the next day she calls as usual for her "blind man." He can stand it no longer and tells her who he is and that he is not a "blind man" at all. He has fallen in love with her and when he bares his identity to her, he takes off his blue glasses. She consents to his wooing and the scene closes on the bench in the park.
