Trivia:
Composed of old Charles Chaplin footage and new non-Chaplin material.
The film is composed of fragments filmed, but not used, in two of Charles Chaplin's movies, namely Work (1915) and Police (1916), and footage from a third never released film, "Life".
Synopsis:
Charlie is a janitor who takes care of an inventor's house. It is wartime and the inventor has a formula for wireless explosives that the other side wants to steal. The film ends with a great explosion. Oryginally, this film was to be titled "Life", but the studio stopped production since it was taking so much time. The resulting film is a patchwork of used and unused material from 1915 and new footage without Chaplin in 1918.
