What happens

Work is a 1915 American silent film starring Charlie Chaplin (his eighth film for Essanay Films), and co-starring Edna Purviance, Marta Golden and Charles Inslee. It was filmed at the Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. It is one of the first movies to appreciate the slapstick potential of a painting and decorating scenario. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
