A movie considered to be Charlie Chaplin's last silent film (though it is packed full of sound effects), it acknowledges the advancing technologies of the day, as we see Chaplin driven mad by the boredom of his job in a factory. He has a spell in a mental asylum and several jail terms before meeting an orphaned girl, with who he gets work at a nightclub. The employment is short-lived, but the pair soon embark on more adventures.
