Gentlemen of Nerve


Fast cars. Flirtations. Trouble in the grandstand.

A day at the motor races becomes a comedy of gate-crashing, romantic rivalry and cheeky mischief as Charlie causes havoc among the spectators. With more interest in charming the women than watching the cars, he soon finds himself at odds with the men around him.

Starring Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand, this lively silent short brings classic slapstick to the racetrack, where the crowd provides as much entertainment as the competition.
