Forsaken and broke, Wanda figures out a way to get money. She puts sunglasses on a sleeping homeless person in the park, cuts a hole in the bottom of the derby she's holding, then hides under the bench and picks up the coins dropped by passersby who take pity on the "blind man." She is approached by a handsome young man whom she tries to impress.
