Courting couple Charlie Chase and Peggy Page are having their date ruined by a crippled uncle (Jess Dandy) they are supposed to be looking after. They see Charlie and decide that of course that he would be the perfect person to outsource their care for uncle to!
Much antics follow, including Charlie taking advantage of the uncle to beg for some money and gets into a fight over a girl...
Chaplin was still learning the ropes and also his Tramp character was still in it's very early days. It is by no means the best Chaplin film, the main character is a bit too mean and aggressive. A fine historical piece nonetheless.
