Easy Street

A spirited silent-era slapstick comedy about redemption and self-improvement, where a derelict becomes a cop and takes on a criminal gang through physical comedy and earnest determination.

A derelict, huddled under the steps of a missionary church, feels enlightened by the sermon of a passionate preacher and infatuated by the beauty of the congregation's pianist, in such a way that he tries to improve his life of poverty by becoming a policeman. His first assignment will be to patrol along Easy Street, the turf of a vicious bully and his criminal gang.
