One of over a dozen films Charles Chaplin directed in 1914.

A young man (Charley Chase) hires Charlie (Charles Chaplin) to care for his wheelchair-bound uncle while he spends time with his girlfriend. Charlie places a "help a cripple" sign on the sleeping man in order to make some quick change to buy a drink. The comedy climaxes with a melee involving Charlie, the nephew, his girlfriend and (of course) a couple of cops.
