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.。棕熊布哥是个幸运儿,他被收养者宠得一塌糊涂,生活安逸舒适。然而现在他却被放归森林,对大自然的艰苦极不习惯的布哥一心想回城,黑尾鹿艾略特的出现却改变了他的计划。艾略特被猎人撞断了一只角,绑在车中运往镇里。布哥犹豫再三,终于救走了艾略特。这个决定让布哥再不能顺利的回到以前的生活。
