Cops

"Cops" is a classic silent comedy short starring Buster Keaton, where the narrative revolves around Keaton's character trying to impress his love interest. His girlfriend sets a condition for marriage: he must first prove himself successful in business. This premise leads to a series of comedic misadventures as Buster attempts to navigate the world of commerce, ultimately finding himself entangled in a hilarious chase with the entire police force of the city. His efforts to become a businessman involve a mix of ingenuity, mishaps, and Keaton's signature physical comedy. The film cleverly uses the theme of success and authority to weave a tale of chaos, culminating in a memorable finale where Buster cleverly escapes the pursuing cops, only to realize that success in love might require more than just business acumen.
