Chaplin shot this as a two-reeler before leaving Essanay Studios. After his departure, the studio included two more reels which Chaplin had shot, featuring the screw-eyed Ben Turpin ogling a Rubenesque woman and some slapstick dueling scenes. Chaplin tried to sue the studio, but he lost the case, and so the film survives with all four reels. [More]
