The Goat is a 1921 short comedy film written, directed by and starring comedian Buster Keaton.
[edit] Plot
The plot involves the complications that ensue when Buster Keaton is mistaken for the criminal "Dead Shot Dan."
This short contains one of Keaton's more memorable images: A shot of a distant, speeding train which approaches the camera, and stops with a close-up of Keaton who has been sitting on the front of the train.
