Trivia:
The first feature-length comedy ever made, and also Charles Chaplin's first feature film.

Milton Berle claimed to have played the bit part of the newsboy who gets slapped in the face and kicked by Chaplin. He later confronted Chaplin about having played the role, but Chaplin (nor anyone else it seems) can recall for certain whether or not it was indeed Berle. Most researchers believe the role to have been played by Gordon Griffith, Keystone's house child actor. However, there are still others who claim that the boy does not resemble Griffith, and could therefore possibly be Berle. There really is no certain way of obtaining a definite answer unless some sort of original studio records turn up, so in the mean time this can be considered speculation at best.

Synopsis:
Stara Tillie (Mary Dressler) została kelnerką, bo Chas (Charlie Chaplin) oszukał ją, zrujnował, a potem uciekł z Mabel. Lecz dawna kochanka dziedziczy nagle trzy miliony. Nicpoń powraca do Tillie i żeni się z nią. Podczas balu żona zastaje Chasa w ramionach Mabel. Rozpoczyna się szalona gonitwa po salonach, ze strzelaniną, przy udziale Keystone Cops pod przewodnictwem kapitana Fatty. Chas traci w tej awanturze żonę i kochankę.
