The Property Man
A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy about backstage chaos and the physical comedy of managing theatrical logistics.
Charlie is in charge of stage props and has trouble with actors' luggage and conflicts over who gets the star's dressing room. Once all that is resolved the next issue is getting everyone on stage with the correct backdrop.
