The Rounders (1914 film)

The Rounders is a 1914 comedy short starring Charlie Chaplin and Roscoe Arbuckle.

[1] The film involves two drunks who get into trouble with their wives, and was written and directed by Chaplin.

Then his equally inebriated neighbor, Mr. Fuller, comes home and starts a fight with his wife.

When Mrs. Full hears the physical altercation across the hall (Mr. Fuller starts strangling his wife after she hits him), she sends her husband to investigate.

Safely out of reach of their wives and the victims of the commotion they caused, they fall asleep, oblivious to the rising water into which they eventually disappear.
