A slapstick silent comedy built on physical gags and absurd impersonation, where crude violence and anarchic humor are the entire point.

Although only a dental assistant, Charlie pretends to be the dentist. After receiving too much anesthesia, a patient can't stop laughing, so Charlie knocks him out with a club.
