Charlie is a fireman in Eric Campbell's brigade. In the beginning, he oversleeps the alarm bells and therefor is kicked in the ass about a dozen times... I don't know why, but that still cracks me up.
Later on a man is bribing the foreman (with his daughter!) to let his house burn, because he can use the insurance money. But when his place is lit, his own daughter is still in the house! Leave it up to Charlie to save her.
Watch out for the scene where Charlie climbs the house to actually rescue the girl... amazing stuff.
On the whole: pretty good Chaplin classic, not among the very best, but still loads of fun. 7/10.
