When Charlie the Tramp wanders into a mission he is smitten by Edna and puts back the collection box which he has taken.

A hero, he now helps many poor people living on Easy Street. Eric escapes jail, Edna is kidnapped, but Charlie (recharged after sitting on a doper's needle) conquers all. Easy Street is transformed as is Eric.
