The Better 'Ole (1926 film)

[3] At one point during the film, Harold Goodwin's character whispers a word to Sydney Chaplin which is also faintly heard.

Old Bill (Sydney Chaplin), a jovial Limey sergeant, discovers that the major of his regiment is a German spy in collusion with Gaspard (Theodore Lorch), the local innkeeper.

The spies mistrust him and poison his wine; but it spills and eats a hole in the floor through which Gaspard falls into the cellar.

Bill manages to get a photograph of the major greeting the German general, but it falls into the hands of Joan (Doris Hill), a prisoner of war.

Four of the seven shorts survive on both disc and film, with the occasional loss of footage due to nitrate decompostion.
