In this film the tramp (Charlie Chaplin) becomes a police officer because he is desperate for a job. The police are desperate for another officer because they need help to take down a criminal named Bill Bashem (Eric Campbell) who is a giant who enjoys thieving and fighting the police. Chaplin goes to arrest Bashem but finds that his riot shield seems to be useless. Bashem gets mad so he bends a lamp for some reason but Chaplin puts Bashem's head in it and arrests him. He takes Bashem back to the station. After that he goes to help Bashem's wife get food as he is now considered a hero. Bus Bashem escapes jail and he and his thugs go to beat up Chaplin. Chaplin protects the law, Bashem's wife from Bashem and his girlfriend (Edna Purviance). He saves the day and soon everyone is happy. I recommend it. It's funny, and endearing. Give it a watch.
