Kurz vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg muss der alternde Komiker Calvero erkennen, dass er am Ende seiner Karriere angekommen ist. Eines Tages rettet er die junge Balletttänzerin Theresa vor dem Selbstmord und macht es sich fortan zur Aufgabe, ihr neues Selbstvertrauen für eine Rückkehr auf die Bühne zu geben. Während Theresa aus Dankbarkeit glaubt, sich in Calvero verliebt zu haben und ihn vergeblich bittet, sie zu heiraten, wird Calvero von dem Wunsch erfüllt, noch ein letztes Mal im Rampenlicht zu stehen

Italian (Italiano)
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.
