Handlung
Charlie Chaplin in der Rolle des Tramp: Ein hilflos überforderter Fabrikarbeiter verliert seinen Job und geht durch die Strapazen der industrialisierten USA der Dreißigerjahre. Er macht Bekanntschaft mit dem Gefängnis, der Obdachlosigkeit sowie mit einem armen Mädchen, für das er sich aufopfert. Chaplins letzte Komödie ist trotz seines späten Datums voll und ganz dem Stummfilm verhaftet.
