Gentlemen of Nerve
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Produced by Keystone Film Company
A lighthearted silent comedy built on physical gags and romantic entanglement at a racetrack, where mischief and mishap drive the humor.
Mabel and her beau go to an auto race and are joined by Charlie and his friend. As Charlie's friend is attempting to enter the raceway through a hole, the friend gets stuck and a policeman shows up.
