A blind father is prevailed upon to transfer his property to his two daughters, who promise to look after him properly. The elder daughter, with whom he first makes his home, is kind for a short time, but attending to the requirements of a blind man soon becomes irksome, and she gradually relaxes her attentions and finally looks upon the old man as a great nuisance, and neglects him. After a time she loses all patience with his infirmity, and rather than be troubled with him any longer, takes him to the house of her younger sister. The younger sister is equally unwilling to give him the attention he needs, and heartbroken by the base ingratitude of his daughters, the old man leaves the house and his old servants find him wandering helplessly about the village. Knowing the conditions upon which the gift was made, they take him to the solicitor's office, where a meeting is arranged with his daughters. The elder daughter, in order to avoid the scandal which is otherwise bound to arise, puts the best face she can upon the matter by pretending a certain amount of affection for her father and takes him home again, where, perhaps feeling some small amount of remorse on account of what has transpired, she treats him with more compassion.
