The Pawnshop
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Produced by Lone Star Corporation
A lighthearted silent comedy built on physical gags and romantic mishaps in a pawnshop setting, where charm and slapstick prevail over genuine peril.
A pawnbroker's assistant deals with his grumpy boss, his annoying co-worker and some eccentric customers as he flirts with the pawnbroker's daughter, until a perfidious crook with bad intentions arrives at the pawnshop.
