Triple Trouble


A simple job. A secret invention. Trouble at every turn.

Charlie takes a job in an eccentric inventor’s home, where everyday chores quickly become comic disasters. Between quarrelling household staff and spies intent on stealing the inventor’s secret, there’s little chance of a quiet day. Even his search for a bed that night brings another round of mischief.

Featuring Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance, this silent comedy combines household chaos, espionage and slapstick. Assembled from earlier Chaplin footage and newly filmed scenes, it offers a curious glimpse into his early screen comedy.
