The Kid is a 1921 Charlie Chaplin film featuring Jackie Coogan as Chaplin's adopted son and sidekick. The film was a huge success, and was the second-highest grossing film in 1921, behind The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The Kid is about a Tramp (Chaplin) that finds an abandoned baby in an alley and takes care of him. As the baby gets older, they are perfect together and they form little schemes to scam people in order to survive.
Chaplin and Coogan both give remarkable performances in The Kid. The film made Coogan, who was a vaudeville performer, into the first major child star of the movies.
