Charlie goes to a spa to dry out, but he takes a trunk of liquor with him. He tangles with another's gouty foot in a revolving door. Later he thinks the gouty man is making love signs to him (he doesn't Edna, the real object of the man's efforts), so he signs back. He interpets a massage to be a wrestling match. When management throws his liquor into the fountain, when flow the healthful waters, everyone gets drunk. (imdb)

This includes a number of great sequences, beginning with Charlie's walking over the pool, his several turns in the revolving door, and his attempts to avoid the burly masseuse. The love sequences at the end don't seem to make all that much sense, but overall, the film leaves an enjoyable impression.

nothing really special, until the end--that well part was great.

An amusing Chaplin short. His character is a little different for a change but the humour remains the same.

Another round of episodic silliness with a drunken Chaplin at the center. Nothing too fancy, but amusing enough.

This is an entertaining short but its never laugh out loud funny and it gets a bit repetitive after a while.

Some general silliness as a drunken character heads to a spa to detox. The revolving door sequence(s), although a bit repetitive, never failed to make me laugh. But just how much alcohol can be diluted to cause an entire sanitarium to get drunk?
