The film is a comment on the increasing industrialization of modern living, which Sir Charles Chaplin felt exacerbated the grim employment and fiscal conditions of the Depression era. Paulette Goddard is always either barefoot or wears shoes without heels to ensure that she is always shorter than Sir Charles Chaplin. Most of the film was shot at "silent speed", 18 frames per second, which when projected at "sound speed", 24 frames per second, made the slapstick action appear even more frenetic. In this film, Paulette Goddard plays a character listed in the credits as "A Gamin". "Gamin" is an old-fashioned English word (of French origin) meaning a street urchin or waif. Since Goddard's character is shown to be a homeless and motherless juvenile, she meets the definition of a "gamin". While Sir Charles Chaplin as A Factory Worker is in jail he accidentally takes a drug called "nose powder". Usually, the Production Code disallowed references to illicit drugs. However, the exception was allowed in this case probably because Chaplin's character uses the strength and courage provided by the drug to foil a jailbreak and becomes the favourite of the guards and Sheriff. In other words, he becomes more moral due to the drug, not less.
