This is an excellent testament to Chaplin's comedic genius. By 1921, he was coming into his own as the best filmmaker of the time, but full-length features were still a thing of the future. Because he only felt the need to make a 28 minute film, which left out a solid plot, and love interest. In this case, that's a good thing, because it leaves just a bunch of solid, extremely funny, comic situation. The music in Pay Day is excellent. Some scenes to note are Chaplin catching, and piling up the bricks, trying to catch the trolley, and trying to dig his hole...
