This very successful first Charlie Chaplin feature film also was written and directed by him. It features Chaplin as "The Tramp" who rescues an abandoned baby from a garbage can and takes him home. Five years later, "The Tramp" is raising the "Kid" (Jackie Coogan) who breaks windows so that "The Tramp" will get jobs replacing them. Now, the "Kid's" Mother (Edna Purviance) has become an opera star who does charity work in the slums. Their paths cross, and the "Kid" is handed back and forth between "The Tramp" and the Mother. The story continues and involves whether "The Tramp," Edith, and the "Kid" will become a family or end up going their separate ways.
