Plot
A short in which a young man is pursued by the entire police force.
Sinekatalog’s take
Buster Keaton's classic short sends a young man fleeing the entire police force in a parade-clogged city. Inventive, balletic and astonishingly staged, with an unforgettable finale, it is a perfect silent comic chase.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
