The man in the iron mask

There are some key points in the life of a man who shared by others without distinction of age, wealth, social class: a passion for sport, a passion for alcohol and passion for women. It can happen that one of them may take over, breaking the delicate balance of existence, specifically to double, as when alcohol darkens the mind of rich and distracted husband that forgets both wear pants, resulting in scandal and embarrassment, is the arrival of his young wife to the train station where he was supposed to go to welcome her.

On the same carriage, or rather, under carriage in a gear, also travels the tramp, who wanted to enjoy a relaxing time at the golf course of the renowned tourist resort where usually the rich prices drop for their holidays and their entertainment. The tramp carries all the necessary equipment to the game, but forgot the ball and ends up triggering a series of fights when seizes balls thrown over the other players.

The neglected wife, meanwhile, reaches into the hotel her husband distracted and informed him the decision to break off the relationship.

The golf course the situation is complicated for the tramp who is wrongly accused of armed robbery against a Sir. To escape the pursuit of COP takes refuge in a hotel where, fortunately for him, there is currently a masked ball, so his unkempt clothing is passed for a disguise. The neglected wife suffers from loneliness and send a note to her husband saying that she was willing to forgive as long as these reaches, masked, to the dance that she is already participating. The husband she pulls a disguise with medieval knight armor, but an abrupt movement brings down the iron mask facial helmet, preventing the supply of alcohol to which he was preparing and making him take in a desperate bid unsuccessful and lift the mask.

His wife impatiently for the delay of the consort appears the tramp, similar like a drop of water to him (but the tramp ignore the resemblance) and she melts in a tender and warm embrace. Charlot, passed the first moment of bewilderment, you give generously to the effusions of pretty woman. At this point breaks in the iron mask that attacks the unsuspecting Tramp and hires him a fight and a Chase involving the girl's father, sided in favor of the tramp he believes to be his rightful son-in-law. Once immobilised the medieval knight, with a can opener, Charlot manages to liberate from the mask the face of contender revealing his identity, to the amazement and of these, because his face is identical to its own.

Restored relationships the tramp will be kicked from the parent of the beautiful. But this, mindful of the ways galanti and attention of Charlot, totally different from the consort, induces his own father to apologize with the tramp that in response, in his irreverent style, he delivers a powerful kick to move away permanently.

The Pilgrim

Escaped from prison at Sing Sing prison uniform undresses stealing Tramp of the first civilian clothes at hand: those of a Minister of the Gospel caught bathing in the river. Thus disguised looks to civil society that sees him as a pastor, but inwardly he knows to be a Lifer on the run and as such reacts and refine the attitudes of the world around him: the sight of a policeman causes collapse, a simple gesture of sal UTO, it does Boggle suspecting some possible intention hidden and potentially dangerous.

Take a train to any direction relying on fate, sits in the cab next to a traveller ignoring be a sheriff, immediately drops saith unto them, at the first stop to find herself in a typical village of the West from the name good fortune (so to speak), literally: "the dead man's bluff". A small crowd cheering him meeting welcoming the dumbstruck Charlot: these are the members of local evangelical mission flocked to welcome their new pastor who announced the arrival by telegram, and he saw descending Charlot they think he's their man. Among the faithful on a girl's face fascinating charms the false Shepherd, restraining him by instinct to flee, predisposing it to unusual role of pastor of souls, which, however, has not yet seen the Sheriff of the town, trasecolando at the time of introduction. Among the inhabitants of the town, the familiar face of a former cellmate who recovered dismay comes forward to greet him cameratescamente, but now is silenced and snubbed by the pastor.

The function is the first public trial and will be fine, the Shepherd, with an original sermon inspired by the biblical story of David and Goliath, causing some confusion among the faithful for casual style. It will captivate the pastor to the trend of taking upon himself the responsibility for custody of alms collected.

The accommodation allocated to them by the community is at a devout believer and the girl's mother spotted by Charlot, which gladly lends itself to small talk and the ritual of presentations of the members of the community, including a family with a terrible child and spiteful that will test the patience of the Shepherd; also visit the former prison of the Shepherd, attracted by the wealth of the community guarded by the girl's mother and hostess. Will do well to hold off the Tramp unedifying intentions, taking care to preserve the sympathies of the girl and not least their own safety but having to succumb in the end, after the fight with the former partner of University (so they are doomed in formal presentations), who manages to steal the money guarded by two women.

The complaint of theft not surprisingly the Sheriff, meanwhile, informed of the true identity of the shepherd: he himself will participate in community events, dismayed and incredulous.

Charlot struck by the girl and her mother, despair in a glow of dignity, maybe even infusagli from the cassock worn track appears in the town's saloon, collects the money and return it to the owners, but the Sheriff lurking catch Charlot and ammanettatolo is preparing to deliver it to the penitentiary institution, seemingly deaf to the request for clemency of the girl touched by the gesture of the redeemed sinner. The Sheriff on horseback, the gangster in tow headed to prison, along the border between the US State and Mexico, in vain the Sheriff asks the convict to cross the line that divides the States and the fate of imprisonment that the waits on the other side by the freedom of the other party: should kick the naïve Tramp to direct him toward the border, allowing the possibility of escape and regain their freedom.
