Un responsable de magasin et son chef de rayon (un sosie de Charlie Chaplin) prévoient de détourner l’argent de la boutique. Lorsque Chaplin lui-même s’en mêle, le chaos s’ensuit.

The very first short Chaplin made at Mutual, The Floorwalker is a twisty, madcap, game of mistaken identity. Billed as the “Impecunious Customer” (!), Chaplin grapples with detectives, mannequins, doppelgangers, water fountains, escalators, and a bag stuffed with cash! What else would you expect?
