Officers Strunk and Mattingly patrol the โduplicipalityโ of South Lyons and Underglen Township. When they pay a follow-up call to โรผber citizenโ Mr. Pedanski, 76, an โamateur copโ more effective than many of his badged counterparts, he informs Strunk and Mattingly of an illegal casino operating nearby. The cops donโt let on, but they already know about the gambling den: Itโs run by other members of the force. Strunk and Mattingly face a drastic decision: Should they seek a piece of the action or, far more dangerously, close down the operation? They decide to eat their cake and throw it.When Strunk and Mattinglyโs attempt to join the scheme is rebuffed, Mattingly visits the casino one night, off-duty. He plays some โKentucky Three Fingerโ and breaks the bank. But his momentary victory triggers a series of events, revealing police department corruption from top to bottom. Soon, Strunk and Mattingly receive warnings and threats. For one, their cruiser is bugged. Next, a group of neighborhood vigilantes raid a gambling den with balaclavas and flash grenades. Then the higher-ups in the department seek to split up Strunk and Mattingly. Finally, Strunk becomes temporarily blinded โ though, by his own negligence in his girlfriendโs shower. When the schmlanx hits the oscillating rotary blade, retaliation erupts in the form of arson, โporn bombsโ and worse. Finally, Pedanski is viciously attacked and the son of Mattingly's girlfriend is kidnapped. Strunk and Mattingly finally realize itโs the police department that should be wrapped in crime scene tape. Will their new-found sense of justice win the day... or get them killed?
