简介
抗日战争时期的河北白洋淀，调皮莽撞的少年张嘎目睹奶奶为掩护八路军逃跑被日寇杀害后，只身来到县城要找到游击队排长罗金保，好让他帮忙为奶奶报仇，哪想真遇见罗金保时，他将对方当作了汉奸，闹了笑话。误会解除后，张嘎梦想成为一名小八路，并想拥有一把枪，结果因为太想得到枪，他不但在和胖墩打赌时耍赖，还违反纪律将某次战斗中收缴到的真枪偷偷藏在了树上的鸟窝里，再闹笑话。张嘎可没将笑话当笑话看，想不通的他约上胖墩又来到县城，要自个替奶奶报仇。在县城，张嘎遇到鬼子龟田和胖翻译，一番斗智斗勇，两人没从张嘎身上捞得什么好处。一些列事情经历后，张嘎由鲁莽捣蛋的少年成长为真正的八路军小侦察员。。故事舞台设定在警视厅花形部署搜查一课，内藤刚志饰演主人公一课长大岩纯一，另外金田明夫饰演的小山田管理官、塙宣之饰演的驾驶刑警奥野亲道等熟悉的角色依然在，还邀请出演《与我跳舞》、《犬鸣村》等影视作品的女星三吉彩花加盟，饰演新宿中央署刑事课新人刑警妹尾萩。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.。
