维拉杰(萨基布·萨利姆 Saqib Saleem 饰)是印度板球队的顶级击球手,在即将与巴基斯坦对决的半决赛前,他突然在中东某国失踪了,这给印度板球队带来了巨大的困扰,因为失去了他,印度队在决赛中可能会失利。印度女总理非常重视这个问题,亲自与中东该国的领导进行了电话联系,并要求派遣印度的王牌警察卡布(维贾伊·拉齐 Vijay Raaz 饰)到中东来解决此案。 卡布抵达中东后,选择了一个糟糕的警员安萨里(瓦伦·达万 Varun Dhawan 饰)作为搭档。他们在36小时内采取了一系列的行动,与赌球集团展开了激烈的斗争,并最终成功将维拉杰救出并送到决赛的现场。。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.。
