One of Chaplin's Better Shorts.

This is the one in which Chaplin gets a job as a policemen and is given the prime task of policing Easy Street, a notorious hotspot of vice and crime, from which the police are usually wheeled back to the station in a wheelbarrow. Eric Campbell, often seen in Chaplin films as an upper-class braggart with an elaborate beard here plays a clean-shaven bully who rules the street with an iron fist, and it's not long before Chaplin has to go head to head with him.This one is pretty funny. The street has such a reputation that even an 8-year-old kid can scare the police. To defeat Campbell's bully, Chaplin has to trap his head in the gas lamp of a suspiciously rubbery lamppost. One aspect of the film that looks quite bizarre today is the way that one character who is clearly a junkie is portrayed as a figure of fun.
