This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.
At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.
One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.。赛巴斯汀带来精彩的单口喜剧表演,畅聊人生小不幸,包括送小孩上学、没上牵绳的狗,以及跟老婆的约会之夜。。穷苦女孩九月错被认作了曲家的大小姐曲小卿,正当九月准备向曲太太坦白自己并不是曲家小姐的时候,却意外的在负责教授曲家小姐棋艺的傅飞那里看到了些蛛丝马迹。。
