What happens

The Rogue is a 1918 American short silent comedy film lasting 26 minutes, featuring Billy West and Oliver Hardy produced by King Bee Comedies. The main character is a carbon copy of Charlie Chaplin's Tramp down even to the details of the bent shoes, thin cane and matching hat. Moreover, the cafe owner played by Hardy is clearly modelled on Eric Campbell. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
