The Cure (1917) [w/Commentary]

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

Charlie goes to a spa to dry out, but he takes a trunk of liquor with him. He tangles with another's gouty foot in a revolving door. Later he thinks the gouty man is making love signs to him (he doesn't Edna, the real object of the man's efforts), so he signs back. He interpets a massage to be a wrestling match. When management throws his liquor into the fountain, when flow the healthful waters, everyone gets drunk.
