The plot for this comedy short is pretty simple. Chaplin, the lovable Tramp is drunk and trying to find his way to his bed. From walking through the front door of his house, to the foot of his bed is a giant challenge. For about 15 minutes, Chaplin dazzles the audience by trying to get from point A to point B. For 1916, the laughs never end. A simple task of getting oneself to bed is made into a hilarious journey from the first floor, to the second. Impossible for Buster Keaton, Chaplin fins himself climbing up his coat rack and dangling from the second floor balcony in order to find his bed. A simple, yet very clever idea, One A.M. takes place at...you guessed it, 1:00 AM as the Tramp arrives home, drunk, and very tired.
