Plot summary
In a park, a man tries to romance a matronly woman in a fur stole. He steps away to a concession stall called Cornucopias, and Charlie, in his tramp costume, approaches with a rose. He nearly soaks himself at the drinking fountain and makes the woman laugh, then sits beside her on the bench. The man comes back furious, grabs Charlie by the face, argues with the woman, and his swinging arms knock Charlie over the bench. The couple return to their hotel. Charlie, despondent, goes to a bar, meets a policeman outside, and staggers across a wide road to the same hotel, falling over a gout-stricken man's leg at the reception desk. He reads the register to find the couple's room.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Caught in the Rain (1914)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- By late April 1914, Charlie Chaplin had been at Keystone Studios for only four months, yet he had gone from knowing nothing about movie-making to directing his own short comedies. When Keystone's usual directors gathered for a private screening of Caught in the Rain, expecting an inferior comedy, they were impressed and applauded.
- The 1914 Keystone comedy short Caught in the Rain was the first of many movies in which Charlie Chaplin both directed and played the lead, launching him behind the camera as well as in front of it.
