The Wino and the Blind Man
Opening Credits:
Ray Manczarek is a blind man
A blind man walks down the street
He reaches into his pocket and in the process a five dollar bill falls out and onto the street.
A wino awakens from a drunken slumber and starts his day with a drink He stumbles out of the alley and finds the five dollar bill He then decides to go downtown to spend his newly found fortune
He has to make a decision. Should I spend the $5 on wine? Or on a haircut? He decides on the haircut, and comes face-to-face with the blind man standing outside the barber shop. He feels sorry for the blind man and gives him a quarter he had been saving
The wino gets a haircut After the haircut the wino feels great and decides to give more money to the blind man
As he is about to put money into the blind mans cup an old woman accuses him of trying to steal the blind man's money. Confused, the wino runs off.. He ends up in the liquor store and buys many bottles of wine.
The wino drinks all of the wine and finds himself in a drunken stupor He then decides he will give all of his remaining money to the blind man He runs back to the barber shop to find the blind man
The wino sees what he thinks is the blind man, but in all of his drunken-ness ends up running face-first into the building People gather around to see the wino passed out on the sidewalk The wino stumbles off from the scene
At the same time the blind man is walking across the same parking lot And we see that he's not a blind man after all
The "blind man" gives a wink to the camera He then gets in his car and drives away
The wino, having seen the "blind man", ponders to himself about what he just saw unfold in front of him The next thing we see is the wino walking down the street as a "blind man"
