Keaton and Cline, 1922. He buys a wagonload of furniture, blunders into a police parade, and is hunted by what looks like the whole department. First National released it. The last image, the gravestone, is the film telling you how the chase ends. Later selected for the National Film Registry. Not a wasted setup.
In two programmes
A wagon of furniture, a police parade, and the whole department behind him. The chase is engineered like a machine, and Keaton moves through it without changing expression. The last shot is a gravestone, and the film means it.
A wagon of furniture, a police parade, and every cop in the department. The chase is built like a machine and he goes through it without changing expression. The ladder across the fence is the gag you can still draw. The last shot is a gravestone, and it is not kidding.
