Charlie is doing thankless work for unappreciative people. His wife is on his case ever minute. He tries to get better pay. His work experiences are sad and defeating. The men he works with are in the same boat. The strength of this early feature is the ingenuity of Chaplin as he navigates every moment, trying to do what is right. He is tired at the end of the day, but his virago of a wife is relentless. I look forward to other Chaplin short features, having not been exposed to them before.
