He is gloomy in consequence and tries various of his friends to get a "little" loan, but they all give him the "cold shoulder." He goes back to his room and gets a telephone call from his girl who wants him to take her out to see the Fair. Eddie meets a friend who hands him five dollars which Eddie had loaned him some time before. Eddie and Vic take in everything at the fair. Wishing to make a good impression on Vic, Eddie buys everything she asks for. When they come out Eddie has just a quarter left out of the five, which he figures will about take him home. But Vic proposes to have dinner and Eddie, of course, agrees. They go into a restaurant with Broadway prices, and are just getting nicely settled, when Vic sees her friend, Mrs. Sponge and her daughter. Victoria is glad to see them and, of course, they must stay to dinner with her. They order. Mrs. Sponge especially orders the best and all are having a merry time but Eddie. The nearer the end of the dinner draws the more desperate he gets. At last he has an inspiration. He will sell his watch. Making his excuses, he goes outside and tries to sell a $100 watch tor $20.00. As it usually happens, he is taken for a thief. A cop takes his watch from him, warning him to get out. He wanders about and coming across a blind man, decides he might just as well be broke as to have only a quarter and puts it in the blind man's cup. The old man thanks him effusively and tells Eddie he can't see at all. Eddie grabs the cup, making off at top speed. But the same old cop who has his watch captures him. Eddie explains his predicament and tells the blind man that if the cop had not got his watch he wouldn't have had to steal from the blind. Meanwhile at the restaurant, the head waiter is beginning to worry who is to pay for the dinner and champagne, and asks the ladies at the table. They tell him that Eddie will settle the bill. The waiter is about to order them out, when Eddie comes in, accompanied by the "blind" man. The blind man sees Eddie's position, and, pulling a roll of bills as large as a ham out of his pocket, nonchalantly peels of a half dozen for Eddie, and tells him to go on and have a good time.
