In City Lights, Charlie Chaplin plays his iconic character, The Tramp, who wanders around the city streets and encounters various misadventures. One day, he comes across a young blind flower girl (played by Virginia Cherrill) selling flowers on a street corner.
The Tramp is immediately smitten by her beauty and innocence, and when he learns that she is facing eviction from her humble home, he secretly vows to help her. Determined to gather the necessary money, he takes on odd jobs, but his comical nature and constant misfortunes hamper his efforts.
Meanwhile, The Tramp befriends a wealthy, alcoholic man (played by Harry Myers) who mistakes him for a millionaire. The two become friends, but their interactions are comical and often involve the Tramp finding himself in awkward situations.
As the story progresses, The Tramp becomes increasingly determined to come to the flower girl's aid. He befriends a millionaire (played by Florence Lee), who gives him money for the girl's operation, thinking that he is a kind-hearted man. However, fate intervenes, and The Tramp loses the money in a drunken haze with his newfound wealthy friend.
Faced with financial setbacks, The Tramp participates in a boxing match for money, only to be pummeled by a much larger opponent. Despite the loss, The Tramp gains some money after temporarily becoming the referee's accidental replacement.
With the gathered funds, The Tramp anonymously pays for the flower girl's eye surgery, hoping it will restore her sight and improve her quality of life. However, before the operation, The Tramp is arrested and eventually released two years later.
Upon his release, The Tramp wanders back to the flower girl's corner, where he finds her selling flowers again. Without revealing his true identity, he steps into her life, pretending to be a wealthy man. She mistakes him for her benefactor and thanks him, unaware of his humble status.
The film reaches its emotional climax when the flower girl, with her newly restored sight, sees The Tramp for the first time. In this poignant moment, she realizes the truth but continues to pretend she does not recognize him, and they share a tender and bittersweet moment.
City Lights is both a heartwarming love story and a comment on societal discrimination and class divisions. Despite the challenges and constant miscommunications, The Tramp's unwavering love for the flower girl prevails, showcasing the timeless qualities of Chaplin's cinema – humor, romance, and empathy for the human condition.
