Summaries

The Tramp cares for an abandoned child, but events put their relationship in jeopardy.

A woman decides to abandon her baby in the backseat of an automobile with a handwritten note attached, beseeching the finder to care for and love the child. The baby is discovered by the initially-reluctant Tramp, who eventually softens and comes to love him as his own. As the boy grows up, both he and The Tramp must learn to navigate through a life that spawns one adventure after another.—Kyle Perez

Faced with raising her fatherless son alone, an unmarried single mother abandons her baby. As one thing leads to another, The Tramp (1915) crosses paths with the child on a street corner, and just like that, the carefree vagabond reluctantly becomes his surrogate father. However, so much can change in five years. Now, the tight-knit pair runs a glazing business, utterly unaware that their already fragile happiness is at stake. But who knows what the future has in store for the bright-eyed kid?—Nick Riganas
