Easy Street is a 1917 short comedy film by Charlie Chaplin. It takes place on a street similar to where Chaplin himself was born, a despairing world beset by gangs, domestic violence, alcoholics and a tenuous authority represented by the church and police. In the film, the police are failing to maintain law and order and so it is Chaplin, as the Little Tramp character, that steps forward (rather reluctantly) to rid the street of bullies, help the poor, save women from madmen and generally keep the peace. »
