The tramp between the cogwheels, the tramp as a test person on a food processor, the tramp blindly roller-skating in a department store floor without railing, the tramp in a dream sequence in which the cow gives milk on its own? These are only a few scenes from this film that still provides material for advertisements and newspapers until now.
Charlie's the Tramp in a factory. Here absurd machines are to be operated and when he is also still to serve as a test person for a new eating machine, he goes completely mad after a short time and is arrested. In prison he can prevent an outbreak of drug addiction and is released again. A letter of recommendation from the warden helps him to get a job in a shipyard in which he does everything wrong. Shortly afterwards he meets a young girl, falls in love with her, spends a night with her in a department store and is arrested again the next morning. Meanwhile, his girlfriend has found her her own place to live, a hovel in which they both undauntedly celebrate a detailed caricature of petty-bourgeois life. The girl finally finds a job as a dancer in a dance club, where Charlie is also hired to serve and sing. After a series of mistakes the two are to be arrested again. Once again they manage to escape. Ahead of them lies the wide road and the sunrise.
