They flee to the wicked city where TiIlie is arrested for drunkenness while Charlie takes his oId girlfriend, MabeI, on a shopping spree with Tillie's money. When her miIlionaire uncle dies, leaving TiIlie the sole heir to his fortune, Charlie quickIy proposes marriage, much to the girI's deIight. They take up residence in the uncle's opuIent mansion and Charlie hires MabeI as a maid. During one of their lavish parties, Tillie discovers CharIie in an amorous embrace with MabeI. Mayhem ensues as Tillie, with a loaded revoIver in hand, sets off in hot pursuit of her unfaithful love.
Notable for being the first ever fuII-length comedy, Tillie's Punctured Romance helped make stars of Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand. ChapIin had previously appeared in 33 Mack Sennett short subjects. His comedic genius eventuaIIy made him a huge star, his most notabIe creation being the indelible character, "The Little Tramp."
