An attractive singer with a lovely voice sings. (Yes, this is still a silent film, but they still wrote scores for the things, and no human voice is heard.) She moves everyone who hears her to tears. When she is done singing, the owner of the Green Lantern suggests she set herself to flirting to attract customers. She focuses her attention on the Tramp--who really doesn't get that sort of thing...

* BabiesEverAfter: A funny variant. In the last scene we see Charlie and Edna working a little farm. They go inside and look over a little cradle--which contains Scrappy nursing a litter of puppies.

CharlieChaplin is The Little Tramp, a homeless man very down on his luck but trying to make the best of it. We first see him sleeping in a junkyard, plugging a draft in the fence with his handkerchief, and trying to steal himself breakfast, and escaping the cop who catches him doing it.
