[[File:BusterKeatonCops_1638.jpg|frame
In this 1922 short, [[Buster Keaton]] is trying to become a successful businessman in order to woo the mayor's daughter ([[Virginia Fox]]), but unwittingly gets into a series of steadily escalating mishaps with members of the LAPD. Eventually he wanders into a policemen's parade, obliviously tosses a bomb into the crowd, and ends up chased by the entire police force.
Considered to be one of Buster Keaton's best short films, ''Cops'' exemplifies the star's popular blending of athleticism and his unique stone-faced comedic style. Written and directed by Edward F. Cline and Keaton, the story features underachiever Keaton seeking success in business to win the affections of a girl (Virginia Fox). Along the way he inadvertently causes a riot at a policeman's parade, and the result is a gag-filled chase involving hundreds of cops.
''Cops'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 1997.
This film is in the public domain, and can be viewed in the Source subpage.
