The Adventurer

An escaped convict. An accidental hero. A party he can’t afford to leave in handcuffs.

Starring Charlie Chaplin, Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell, this lively silent short combines daring escapes, romantic mischief and elegant party chaos in a fast-paced showcase of Chaplin’s physical comedy.
