The Count (1916) [w/Commentary]

Director: Charles Chaplin (uncredited)
Stars: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Eric Campbell

Charlie burns a count's trousers while ironing them and is fired. The tailor finds an invitation to dinner at Miss Moneybags and goes in place of the count. Charlie goes to the kitchen of the same house; he is attracted to the cook, and so are the butler and a policeman. Once discovered by the tailor-count, Charlie must pretend to be the count's secretary. The real count shows up.
