The Adventurer background

The Adventurer

The charming and resourceful Little Tramp embarks on a thrilling adventure, breaking free from confinement to rescue a damsel in distress and her mother from a watery grave, before wreaking joyful chaos at an upscale social gathering.

Charlie, an escaped convict, uses his cunning to evade capture along the rocky coast. He steals a bathing suit from a man and emerges as a bather, just as Edna's mother is struggling in the water. Charlie saves Edna and her mother, but "Big Eric" pushes him back into the water. Charlie is rescued and taken to Edna's home, where he bluffs his way through a social event, unaware that Edna's father is the judge who sentenced him. Eventually, Eric discovers Charlie's true identity and Charlie is pursued by a guard through the house, until he escapes by introducing the guard to Edna.
