"The Floorwalker" was Charlie Chaplin's first Mutual Film Corporation film, made in 1916. It starred Chaplin as a customer in a department store who finds out the manager is stealing money from the store.

It was noted for the first 'running staircase' used in films which is used for a series of slapstick that climaxes with a frantic chase down an upward escalator and finding they are remaining in the same position on the steps no matter how fast they move. Edna Purviance played a minor role as a secretary to the store manager, played by Eric Campbell.
