Plot [edit]

In the fictional town of Spurbury, Vermont, four Vermont state troopers patrol a l-mile section of highway and compete for prominence with the local police section. Although they are warned that their station risks being shuttered due to low productivity, the troopers - Lieutenant Arcot Ramathorn, "Rabbit" Roto, "Mac" Womack, and Carl Foster - delight in playing practical jokes on unsuspecting motorists and each other, rather than enforcing the law. They especially enjoy tormenting fellow trooper Rodney Farva, a cocky and overzealous officeholder who has been suspended from the road for an unspecified incident.

The troopers, led by Captain John O'Hagen, are called to investigate an abased Winnebago off the highway, only to find the Spurbury police force have already arrived: past challenge the investigation, the Spurbury constabulary chief, Bruce Grady, hopes to force the closure of the troopers' station, thereby securing increased funding for his bureau. The animosity leads to a brawl betwixt the assembled officers, during which the body of a murdered woman is discovered inside the Winnebago. The troopers notice a tattoo on the dead adult female depicting a monkey. During a routine traffic stop of a semi truck shortly after, Foster and Womack discover a large shipment of marijuana marked with stickers depicting the same monkey. The troopers suspect the expressionless woman and the marijuana are related, only Chief Grady laughs off the claim and refuses Captain O'Hagen'south suggestion that the troopers and local police force cooperate on the investigation.

Foster begins a human relationship with Spurbury law officer Ursula Hanson and, while attempting to take sex with her in the now-impounded Winnebago, discovers hidden bundles of marijuana, all begetting the same monkey sticker. Foster conspires with Ursula, who hates her coworkers and is stuck manning the front desk, to reveal the bust at an upcoming visit by the governor, thereby proving the troopers' suspicions and embarrassing the local constabulary. Meanwhile, Farva is reinstated to patrol and partnered with an exasperated Ramathorn. However, Farva attacks a eating house cashier and is arrested by the Spurbury police. Principal Grady offers Farva a job with his department in exchange for data well-nigh the drug investigation, but Farva refuses. Farva is subsequently reprimanded by an infuriated O'Hagen, who re-suspends Farva.

The governor arrives in Spurbury; Ramathorn and Foster break into the police impound and steal the Winnebago, planning to reveal the marijuana discovered by Foster at a press conference. They barely brand it in time, only to discover the marijuana has already been seized past the Spurbury law, with Chief Grady claiming credit. Foster accuses Ursula of revealing the location of the marijuana in commutation for a favorable assignment. Having nothing to prove for their efforts, the state troopers expect their station to be shut down.

Back at the station, the troopers discover Farva dressed in a Spurbury law compatible; Foster realizes that information technology was Farva, not Ursula, who betrayed the location of the marijuana. The troopers, including Captain O'Hagen, handcuff Farva to a toilet and drunkenly vandalize Chief Grady'southward house. Ursula offers to help the troopers get back at Grady, and tips them off to intercept a drug-running truck. As they attempt to pursue it, the troopers encounter an escaped Farva, who holds them at gunpoint and berates them for not taking him seriously every bit a cop. O'Hagen intervenes and the troopers convince Farva to assist them finish the drug smugglers. Following the truck to a nearby airfield, the troopers observe information technology beingness loaded with marijuana from a Canadian-marked plane. Chief Grady and several Spurbury officers then get in, and the troopers realize that the local police are running protection for the smugglers. After creating a distraction, the troopers brawl with the Spurbury officers and smugglers, ultimately arresting them.

Some days later, the governor sends Helm O'Hagen a letter thanking him for his efforts, but telling him the station will still be shut down. Three months after, Ramathorn and Rabbit, equally deliverymen, notice themselves bringing a keg of beer to a party hosted past underage college students they previously arrested. As the teenagers torment the seemingly powerless ex-troopers, they remove their deliverymen's uniforms to reveal that they are Spurbury police officers, having replaced their corrupt predecessors.
