Another Mabel Normand film where Charlie Chaplin begins to steal the show, Caught in a Cabaret has Charlie the little tramp overworked as a waiter in a cafe, who gets a free hour off from work and unexpectedly rescues Mabel from a mugging. She invites him to her home, where he’s invited to a party—along the way, in an effort to impress her, he presents a card falsely identifying him as the Greek Ambassador. Her jealous boyfriend follows Charlie back, and plans to get even with Charlie at the party, by inviting everyone to Charlie’s cafe afterward, in order to humiliate Charlie.
