Charlot e la partita di boxe (1914)
Per il corpulento Pug nulla è più importante del suo cane e della sua fidanzata. Un delinquente lo impara a sue spese quando tenta di baciare la ragazza e Pug lo sconfigge insieme a tutta la sua banda. Il delinquente riesce allora a convincere il rivale a tentare la fortuna in un match amatoriale contro un truffatore che finge di essere il pugile Cyclone Flynn. Lo spaccone è presto intimidito dalla forza di Pug (lo vede sollevare un peso di 500 libbre con una sola mano) e gli offre di dividere il premio se lui si farà sconfiggere, Pug rifiuta e l'impostore fugge quando il vero Cyclone Flynn arriva in città, pronto a difendere il suo titolo. Prima del match, Pug viene avvicinato da un giocatore d'azzardo che, affermando di voler puntare una grossa somma su di lui, lo minaccia di morte se non vincerà. Pug dà effettivamente del filo da torcere a Cyclone Flynn sul ring, anche se lo zelante arbitro finisce per prendere la maggior parte dei colpi da entrambi i combattenti...
