A woman passes a construction
site and gets dirt in her eye, which causes her to wink involuntarily. Soon she
has a trail of suitors.
In the year that Charles Chaplin
signed up with Essanay Films to write, direct and act in his own two reelers,
Oliver Hardy (known as Babe Hardy) was earning his living by acting in one
reelers such as 'Something in her Eye'. He would have to wait until he teamed
up with Stan Laurel in 1927 in the classic silent short film, 'You're Darn
Tootin', before he would receive the same level of success as Chaplin.
Trivia
The actress top-billed as Billie Rhodes is not the
well-known comedienne of the same period, 'Billie Rhodes (I)', but a different
actress imitating her.
