Plot Summary

Charlie, the not-so-punctual and dependable pawnbroker's assistant, starts his day with his usual duties at the pawnshop--a bit of dusting; some polishing up, and above all, a lot of quarrelling with his co-worker. Before long, a customer arrives--what a fabulous opportunity for Charlie to exhibit his subtle technical skills, and to give his critical scientific evaluation with the use of a rusty can-opener. Then, another client comes, eager to see the diamonds; however, could he be a wolf in sheep's clothing? Written by Nick Riganas

Trivia Restoration work was carried out at L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2013. The Pawnshop (1916) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films, from a nitrate dupe negative from the Blackhawk Film Collection preserved at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a nitrate print from the Library of Congress. Some fragments were added from two nitrate prints preserved at the British Film Institute and the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique, and a fine grain preserved at the Cinémathèque française. Intertitles have been reconstructed according to the original Mutual Film intertitles and documents of the Library of Congress. The surviving elements come from two different negatives. Negative A was restored whenever possible while negative B was used to reconstruct missing or severely damaged shots. See more »
