Synopsis

A Night in the Show

Two disruptive theater patrons, the wealthy drunk Mr. Pest (played by Charlie Chaplin) and the rowdy working-class Mr. Rowdy (also played by Chaplin), attend a live vaudeville theater production. Their constant antics, seat-hopping, and physical altercations quickly overshadow the acts on stage and plunge the entire theater into absolutely hilarious chaos.

Above the Line

Six struggling Hollywood hopefuls team up for the ultimate comeback: to rob the Academy Awards from the crooked producer who crushed their dreams. But in a town built on make-believe, pulling off the perfect heist might just be the role of their lives.
