The Professor

In The Professor, we follow Professor Bosco, a poor flea trainer, who rents a bed in a flophouse. He carefully settles his beloved fleas for the night but chaos ensues when he accidentally knocks their box off the bed. The fleas escape, leading to a series of comedic events as they disturb his neighbors.

The film captures the slapstick humor typical of Chaplin's work, showcasing his unique ability to blend physical comedy with engaging storytelling. As the chaos escalates, including a stray dog that further complicates Bosco's attempts to regain control, viewers are treated to classic silent film antics. This work exemplifies the early days of cinema and the creativity of its era, making it significant for collectors interested in silent film history and Chaplin’s filmography.
