Blind (1912)
Henry Marshall and Bob Stanley are business rivals. Stanley and Marshall's daughter, Helen, are in love, but Mr. Marshall won't tolerate the match, because Stanley has practically ruined him by his business competition. However, Mr. Marshall has great faith in his superintendent, who is unsuccessful in his suit for Helen's hand. Helen is sent away to an expensive boarding school, but her father (unknown to her) is forced to mortgage his factory to meet the expense. At her departure, her father becomes totally blind, but he keeps the ill news from his daughter. Things go from bad to worse with Mr. Marshall until he is practically on the verge of bankruptcy. Finally it comes to the stage where he can't pay his workmen. Helen meanwhile has written Stanley that she is coming home on a vacation, but is keeping it secret from her father to surprise him. Upon her arrival she finds her father blind and the workmen on strike. To avoid serious trouble she (unknown to her father) hunts up Stanley and tells him conditions. For love of her, Stanley draws enough money to tide over Marshall's embarrassment. Helen suspects that Hardy, the superintendent, is not as honest as her father thinks him, so that night she and Stanley gain access to the office. They go over the books and find that Hardy has falsified accounts to the extent of $30,000. They confront Hardy and Mr. Marshall with the evidence. Hardy is arrested and a partnership is formed between the two business rivals, much to the delight of the lovers.
