Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Charlie talks wealthy farmer's daughter Tillie into eloping with him--and taking her father's money. In the city Tillie gets drunk and lands in jail while Charlie runs off with her money and his old girlfriend Mabel. Later Charlie reads that Tillie, now working as a waitress has inherited her multi-millionaire uncle's estate. Charlie dumps Mabel and talks Tillie into moving into her uncle's villa, and Mabel arranges to become a housemaid there. However, the uncle was never really dead; he returns and summons the police to have them all thrown out.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This film marked the last time that Charles Chaplin would be directed by someone other than himself. That is, if you don't count Chaplin's cameo appearance in Show People (1928), directed by King Vidor. See more » |
| Goofs | When they are pulling Tillie out of the water with the rope, the rope in the close-ups is dragging directly over the edge of the wharf, but in the medium shots from another viewpoint, the rope is clearly being run through a block pulley system on a spar suspended over the water.
