Written and directed by Charles Chaplin
Edna's father wants her to marry Count Chloride de Lime but she only has eyes for her true love, Charlie. In order to save her, he poses as the Count at dinner until the real Count shows up. Fights, car chases, & brick throwing ensue.
Chaplin shot this film on location in San Francisco.
