 Run time: 24 min Rating: 7.1 Genres: Short | Comedy Director: Charles Chaplin Stars: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Eric Campbell |
| Storyline Charlie goes to a spa to dry out, but he takes a trunk of liquor with him. He tangles with another’s gouty foot in a revolving door. Later he thinks the gouty man is making love signs to him (he doesn’t Edna, the real object of the man’s efforts), so he signs back. He interpets a massage to be a wrestling match. When management throws his liquor into the fountain, when flow the healthful waters, everyone gets drunk. Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu> |
