Directed by: Charlie Chaplin

In December 1914, Charlie Chaplin began his one-year contract with the Essanay Film Manufacturing Company, shooting films in both their Chicago and California Studios. In that one year he made fifteen films, earned an unprecedented salary and established himself as a firm box-office favourite. Previously, Chaplin's Essanay films have only been available in poor or incomplete prints. The films in this edition are the result of a nine-year search to find the best materials.

Includes: A Woman, The Bank, Shanghaied, A Night In The Show, Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque On Carmen, Police!, Triple Trouble.
