What happens
Cohen Collects a Debt è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Mack Sennett con Mabel Normand e Ford Sterling. "Cohen" è "l'ebreo" nella sua versione comica stereotipizzata che dal vaudeville entrò quindi nel cinema. Interpretato volta volta da attori diversi, il personaggio è il protagonista sin dal 1904 di numerosi cortometraggi, dove la caricatura tende talora pericolosamente a sfociare in aperto antisemitismo.
