This Pathe comedy stars the wiry, impeccably dressed Max Linder, whom Charlie Chaplin would later cite as his screen idol. Unable to marry the girl of his dreams, Max decides to kill himself, but can't bring himself to pull the trigger. Thus he hires an assassin to do the dirty deed for a 100-dollar fee. Upon learning that he has inherited a fortune, however, Max suddenly decides that life is worth living after all, and desperately sets about to dissuade his "hired gun" from completing his deadly mission. The plot of Max in a Dilemma, which wasn't even new in 1910, would be redone innumerable times over the next nine decades.
