The Knockout (1914) was Charlie Chaplin's seventeenth film for Keystone Studios. Chaplin only has a small role, and Fatty Arbuckle takes up the main role (it is one of only a few films in which Chaplin's Little Tramp character appears in a secondary role; Chaplin doesn't even appear until the second half of the film). It also stars Arbuckle's wife, Minta Durfee, Edgar Kennedy and Keystone owner, Mack Sennett in a minor role as a spectator. The film was directed by Charles Avery, and made in 1914 in America.

Synopsis

Pug est un gentil garçon et une force de la nature pour qui rien ne compte plus que son chien et sa fiancée. Le voyou Al l'apprend à ses dépens en essayant de voler un baiser à la belle : en colère Pug met seul en déroute Al et toute sa bande de voyous. Au théâtre voisin, Cyclone Flynn, le célèbre boxeur, doit faire une exhibition et affronte tous ceux qui veulent tenter leur chance. Sa récente déconvenue donne l'idée au voyou de présenter Pug comme challenger et partager la prime. Il parvient à convaincre ce dernier d'aller s'inscrire. Mais une fois sur le ring, le combat de rue n'a rien à voir avec le Noble Art et Cyclone Flynn démolit consciencieusement Pug. Sonné et hors de lui, ce dernier se saisit de deux revolvers et entame une course poursuite avec le boxeur professionnel, qui a pris les jambes à son cou à l'extérieur du théâtre. Nos deux larrons sont suivis par les soigneurs, fiancée et spectateurs. Aussitôt alertés par le directeur, les Keystone Cops entrent dans la danse et finissent comme d'habitude par faire les frais de cette histoire en prenant un bain.

Chaplin plays a character quite different from the Tramp for which he would become famous. He is a rich, upper-class gentleman whose romance is endangered when his girlfriend sees him being embraced by a maid. Chaplin's romantic interest in this film, Minta Durfee, was the wife of fellow Keystone actor Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
