Chaplin, out of his Tramp character, is the city slicker trying to put one over on farm girl Dressler, who pursues revenge. First feature full-length comedy film. A Burlesque on Carmen: In the original opera, the beautiful Carmen lures Don Jose, a soldier of the king, to desert the army and join her and a band of smuggling gypsies. He falls in love with her, only to have her leave him for another man. After repeated failed attempts to win her back, Don Jose kills her and committs suicide.
