Seeing Is Believing (1913)
Mortimer Gregg, a blind millionaire, is seated at the table partaking of his morning repast. His servants make his affliction profitable by helping themselves to the best in the house. At the office his clerks take undue advantage and talk and gossip among themselves all day. A few days later, Gregg's physician calls at the office, where he is ushered in by a conscientious stenographer, who is the only one of the office force who sympathizes with her employer. Later an examination is made and the doctor gives assurance that Gregg's sight will be restored. After the operation, which proves successful, he requests the doctor to keep secret the fact of his restored sight. The following morning at the breakfast table, Gregg sees the butler help himself to the wine. He discharges him. In his room he finds his valet going through his overcoat and wearing one of his new suits. He, also, is discharged. Gregg is then driven to his office, the bookkeeper hands him a paper to sign. Reading it over he realizes it is a check made out to the bookkeeper for $10,000. He signs it and notifies the police. He then enters the outer office and sees his negligent clerks taking advantage of his supposed blindness. The officers arrive and arrest the bookkeeper. The faithful stenographer is then called into his private office and rewarded with a proposal of marriage.
