In the film that marks the end of the contract between Chaplin and Mutual Film Corporation, Charlot escapes from prison and saves a girl and her mother from drowning. As thanks, he is invited to a high-class party, but chaos ensues when he is pursued by the law. Charlot The Adventurer reflects the comic agility of this creative phase in the star’s career, with a simple plot that never becomes tiresome and the physical artistry of Chaplin, which reaches its peak in the amusing prison guard chase scenes.
