Cops starts with Keaton apparently behind bars. The camera cuts and reveals he's talking to a woman who rejects his marriage proposal until he becomes successful. Despite success not being an objective measure, it starts the film. He sees a wallet and quickly returns it. Just like the scout in the famous Twix commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExpZI12IoDI), he deserves a reward but doesn't get it fairly. He keeps the cash. Despite that, we always seem to root for Buster as he gets into more and more hi-jinx with dozens of the cities police officers. It ends with one of the crazier title cards I've ever seen. It's short and fun, but it's not my favorite Keaton short.
