This film was one of several Chaplin comedies scheduled to be shown at the New-York Historical Society in September 2001. In the wake of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, however, this film and one other, Work, were pulled from the program because each one ends with Charlie emerging from the rubble of a destroyed building.

Charlie and Chester are waiters, but when the employees of the adjoining bakery go on strike they are sent to man the ovens. They wallow in dough until the bakery is destroyed by dynamite which the strikers hid in a loaf of bread.
