一群远离文明世界的人生活在日本南岛上。太根吉一家属于岛上祭神巫女的家系，太根吉和妹妹太马的关系有些暧昧，太马却被岛上的头目龙立元强行纳为侍妾。龟太郎是太根吉的儿子，他非常向往都市的文明生活，极度反感岛上的生活习俗，却无法打破岛上的陈规陋习。岛上的人长期以来都靠种甘蔗为生，现在需要建设一个糖厂，东京某技术员到岛上对糖厂的水源问题进行考查，建议以大瀑布为水源，遭到岛上居民的强烈反对。。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.。
