Easy Street (film)
Easy Street is a 1917 short comedy film by Charlie Chaplin.
In the film, the police are failing to maintain law and order and so it is Chaplin, as the Little Tramp character, who steps forward (rather reluctantly) to rid the street of bullies, help the poor, save women from madmen and generally keep the peace.
