The clip opens with photographs of Charles Chaplin working and posing in a factory. In the photos he's operating big machinery and playing around in a factory. The subsequent scene is footage of men working on a conveyer belt, while an instructor watches over them. One of the workers messes up his project. In a comedic way, he chases after his work on the conveyer belt. He runs to the next person for assistance, but by the time the man can help him, his project is lost as well. The two factory workers run around frantically in confusion. The concluding footage is of people working on engines in a factory.
