as a janitor in an office building', Charlie misses the elevator and walks to the top floor, where he starts cleaning on an office. Charlie spills a bucket of water out of the window and it drenches the owner of the building. He fires Charlie. A clerk tries to rob the safe and is caught in the act by the owner's secretary. He tries to overpower her and she pushes the button which rings a bell in the janitor's room. Charlie hears it and rushes upstairs to the office. He fights with the clerk until the police arrive and arrest the culprit. The owner rewards Charlie with a roll of money and gives him his job back. A typical old time Charlie Chaplin comedy with a lot of melodrama thrown in for good measure.
