In the 1920s, America was in the midst of an economic depression, with high unemployment rates and workers being exploited, reduced to mere cogs in the machinery of production. Charlie (played by Charles Chaplin) is an ordinary citizen, working day and night in a factory filled with rumbling machines to earn a meager income. The repetitive and arduous work suffocates him, as he pretends to tighten people's noses like screws, trapped in the conveyor belt machinery, eliciting a bitter laugh. Despite his poverty, Charlie is kind-hearted. He rescues a homeless woman on the street and they live together in a run-down yet warm home. Each time he finds himself broke, Charlie deliberately gets into trouble to end up in jail to have a better chance of finding food. Things seem to improve for a while as the homeless woman becomes a singing and dancing star, but good times are fleeting.
