After explaining his predicament Tiny encourages Ernée to find a job. After hours of searching Ernée comes across some street vendors. Ernée realizes that his talent for drawing can finally be put to use and offers to draw peoples portraits for $2. He very quickly becomes successful and wealthy impressing Tiny and they celebrate by getting drunk on beer. Both men boozed well into the night and got to know each other. Ernée learnt that Tiny was as lonely as he was and often looked through the lonely hearts advert pages to try and find love.
Tiny encourages Ernée to do the same and books him a date with a blind woman named Angelina. On their date together things at first are silent and awkward between the two Ernée's nerves start to show, and he suddenly begins taping in Morse Code. As Angelina was the daughter of a lighthouse keeper to his shock and delight she tapped back. Ernée draws her portrait in brail and offers her the chance to go to Venice with him which she happily accepts.
Ernée heads back to Tiny's Take-out to say goodbye to Tiny and collect Edith, but the door is locked. Ernée peeks through the upstairs room and to his horror finds Tiny sharpening a meat cleaver and smiling evilly. Angelina waits for Ernée who is late and starts to worry as she had previously been stood up before. Tiny carries Edith by the throat and put's her on his chopping block desperate to save Edith Ernée climbs to the top of the take-out chimney and falls forward through the skylight.
Tiny throws his meat cleaver at Ernée and misses him. Tiny tries again to chop off Edith's head with another knife but Ernée throws Vegemite at Tiny blinding him. Unfortunately Tiny still tries to chop Edith's head off and inadvertently chops off her leg instead. Angelina having grown tired of waiting for Ernée sits in a bath of a water and gets ready to commit suicide typing out “Goodbye Cruel World” in brail as a suicide note. Tiny chases Ernée trying to kill him and eventually corners him behind a mincing machine. Just as Tiny is about to kill Ernée Edith suddenly gets up from behind and kicks Tiny in the back of the head and into the mincing machine killing him.
As Angelina is about to commit suicide Ernée calls her just in time before she can do so and communicates in Morse Code that he is safe leaving Angelina overjoyed. In the end the two of them finally get to Venice and ride on a gondola together Edith's missing leg is replaced with a wooden one, and they enjoy a happy life in Venice.
