The Tramp raises an abandoned child until the authorities try to take him away.
Sinekatalog’s take
Chaplin's first feature mixes slapstick with real sentiment as the Tramp raises an abandoned child. Jackie Coogan is wonderful, and the film shows Chaplin's ability to make comedy and tears share a scene.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
