Trama
Londra, 1914. Calvero (Chaplin), un tempo famoso e acclamato clown ma ormai alcolista cronico, salva una giovane ballerina, Terry (Claire Bloom), da un tentativo di suicidio. La porta a casa sua e cerca di reinfonderle fiducia nella vita: la ragazza è rimasta orfana da bambina e sua sorella è stata spinta a prostituirsi, ma grazie agli incoraggiamenti che riceve da Calvero, di fatto trasformatosi nel suo mèntore, Terry riprende coscienza delle sue possibilità e riacquisisce autostima, il che le permette di ritornare con successo al suo lavoro di ballerina.
