A homeless person who is kind-hearted and likes to take advantage of small things, through a rich man who has lost his love, he tries to give love and fantasy to a poor blind flower seller.

In vain, but still insist on hope and love, a little low-minded and vain and greedy for cheap, but still good - what kind of person did Chaplin portray?
