In the Clutches of the Gang (also known as In the Clutches of a Gang) is a 1914 American short comedy film featuring Roscoe Arbuckle and the Keystone Cops.[1] The majority of the film is believed to be lost.[1] However, a fragment of the film exists and is held by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[2] This film is considered to be a "high point" for the Keystone Cops, as the entire movie focuses on the slapstick police force.[3]
