The Count

The Count (1916) is a Chaplin two-reeler from his Mutual Film period — watch it online on iFILM. Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell co-star.

A tailor fires his bumbling assistant, then finds a note from the absent Count Broko and decides to impersonate him at a wealthy woman's ball. His former assistant arrives with exactly the same idea. Two fake aristocrats, one ballroom, and a great deal of flying ice cream — Chaplin runs the whole thing without a pause for breath. Watch The Count (1916) online on iFILM.
