The Kid

“6 reels of Joy.”

A Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) wants nothing more than to get by, until a baby abandoned by its mother lands in his arms and he takes the child in. Years later the boy (Jackie Coogan) is his sidekick, and Chaplin, in his first feature as a director, puts the two of them together at the center of every scene. Meanwhile the mother (Edna Purviance) regrets leaving, and the Tramp stands to lose the only family he has.
