    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This film marked the last time that Charles Chaplin would be directed by someone other than himself. That is, if you don't count Chaplin's cameo appearance in Show People (1928), directed by King Vidor.
    • Goofs
      When they are pulling Tillie out of the water with the rope, the rope in the close-ups is dragging directly over the edge of the wharf, but in the medium shots from another viewpoint, the rope is clearly being run through a block pulley system on a spar suspended over the water.
    • Quotes
      • Police Chief: Have you a niece built like a battleship who calls herself Tillie?
    • Alternate versions
      Re-released in the 1950s with a organ score and narration. The narration, though, was being read while the title cards were seen.
