Like all of the very early Chaplin works on this VHS, the quality is rather poor and there are dropouts -- not from the tape, but from the film elements -- sometimes enough so that the action is hard to follow. Not that it matters a whole lot, as these are for the most part very simple films with lots of knockabout action, broad humor, and very little else.
"Caught in a Cabaret" finds Charlie as a waiter in a cheap cabaret who, on an unauthorized "break" tries to convince a wealthy society girl that he is the Ambassador from Greece (how or why he contrives this particular scam is uncertain). He doesn't fool all of her high-society friends however and it all ends in a big ruckus back at his workplace. A bit overlong, lacking in the timing that Chaplin would bring to his efforts in as little as a year, but pleasant enough in a rough, silly way.
