One of Buster Keaton’s most iconic short films stars Keaton
as a young man going about his daily life when he inadvertently gets into
trouble with first one Cop, then another until finally the whole LAPD are
chasing him down despite him doing nothing wrong intentionally. He finds a
wallet and is accused of stealing, is conned and accidentally steals a whole
family’s furniture and unintentionally explodes a bomb at a police parade.
The resulting eighteen minutes are a thrilling chase
sequence with plenty of trademark stunts and dead pan.
