The Tramp works as a laborer on the assembly line in a giant factory. Every day he has to perform the same operations and soon he becomes alienated from his work. A tyrannical boss and the daily routine and drudgery of his job eventually land The Tramp in a mental institution. When he gets out of there, he looks for a new job, but is falsely accused of communist sympathies and ends up in jail. Once released from prison, The Tramp meets an orphan girl who is on the run from the police. Together, the two outcasts decide to face all the problems they encounter in their lives. The police, however, are never far away...
