Very funny., 24 April 2001
8/10
Author: Samuel-2 from Örebro, Sweden

Chaplin is a costumer in a store, he browses around, touching everything and causes some trouble. A police wants to throw him out of the store so when a man working in the office of the store wants to change clothes with him Chaplin agrees. The man is one of the two that works at the office and they plan to sneak out with the the company's money, because the police is after them. Chaplin ends up as the winner as always. Allot of funny slapsticks and other stuff, a great shortfilm.

8 out of 10.
