All three live in the hope that they will soon be able to accumulate enough money to consult a celebrated eye specialist concerning Violet's (the blind daughter's) eyes.

A pathetic story of how a blind girl was cured because her sister hid in a doctor's carriage and presented the case to him so graphically that he attended to it. Then after the cure he married the girl. That is about all there is to the story and yet it touches the sympathies because the little sister insists that if she is allowed to visit the doctor he will do something, even though they are poor and friendless. And because her trustfulness was rewarded one feels as though humanity need not yet be given up as hopeless. The really warm hearts in any community are numerous. When occasion demands they respond, as the eminent doctor did in this instance. Such films are helpful because they make nearly despairing men sometimes hopeful, and as long as hope lasts there is opportunity for achievement. - The Moving Picture World, September 24, 1910
