Handlung
In den Vaudeville-Theatern Englands verdient sich der junge Charles Chaplin seine ersten Lorbeeren als Komödiant. Als seine Jugendliebe scheitert, geht er nach Hollywood, wo er hofft, in der aufkeimenden Filmbranche Fuß zu fassen. Tatsächlich eilt er von Triumph zu Triumph, aber die Neider schlafen nicht.
