Output: Officer Frank Dooley John Candy of the LAPD is framed for the theft of a television set by two corrupt detectives. He is dismissed from the force, but escapes criminal punishment at his day in court. The courts next case features hapless defense attorney Norman Kane Eugene Levy attempting to defend a white supremacist leader, who threatens him with death should Kane fail to keep him out of prison. A fearful Kane reveals his ineptitude and the death threat to the judge Stacy Keach, Sr., who agrees to render a long sentence if Kane promises to leave law behind. Dooley and Kane meet one another when they both apply for work at Guard Dog Security, a lowrent firm run by gruff Captain Clarence OConnell Kenneth McMillan and part of a security guards union requiring heavy contributions represented by Klepper Jonathan Banks and Lazarus Brion James. Becoming licensed security guards after a single afternoon of training, Dooley and Kane are made partners by supervisor Maggie Cavanaugh Meg Ryan and assigned to night duty at a pharmaceutical companys warehouse. After being loudly ordered to take a lunch break by senior guard Bruno Tom Lister, Jr., Kane happens upon an armed robbery of the warehouse and calls to Frank for help, but they prove no match for the thieves. The next day, the pair are berated and fined 100 each by OConnell for their failure, leaving them suspicious. While venting their anger toward OConnell, Maggie reveals that she is his daughter. Dooley and Kane then attend a meeting of the union, where Kanes attempt to file a grievance against Guard Dog is quashed by union president Michael Carlino Robert Loggia. Kane pointedly questions Carlino about how the union dues, adding to about 4 million per year, are spent. After Kane rejects an evasive answer from Union treasurer Lou Brackman James Tolkan, an enraged Carlino threatens Kane with violence should he ever attend another union meeting and abruptly adjourns. Over the next few days, Dooley and Kane find themselves assigned to work at a landfill and a toxic waste dump. Convinced something illegal is afoot after hearing a similar story from two fellow burnedout security guards about a similar robbery, the pair track down Bruno at his gym and interrogate him. Bruno admits that it was OConnell who had him order them to lunch the night of the robbery. Dooley and Kane flee from the gym and an enraged Bruno. The pair then visit an informant friend of Dooleys for information on Carlino. Upon learning of Carlinos corrupt reputation, they bring their suspicions to Maggie, but she rejects them as having no evidence to back them up. Dooley and Kane next attend a party thrown by Carlino in hopes of gathering some evidence. Eavesdropping on a meeting between Carlino and Brackman, they learn of Carlinos use of the pension fund to finance dealings with a Colombian drug cartel and his plans to have the money robbed from an armored car, with insurance covering the loss. Fearing an investigation by the insurance company, Brackman urges Carlino not to go through with the robbery. In response, Carlino instructs Klepper and Lazarus to execute him. Dooley and Kane attempt to save Brackman, but are too late to prevent his murder and instead find themselves framed for his death. After a night spent evading police, the two make plans with a now receptive Maggie to prevent the armored car robbery. Kane and Maggie take over driving the truck, while Dooley plans to meet them ahead of the wouldbe robbers. Dooley has problems with his motorcycle and is forced to hitch a ride with The Cowboy Steve Railsback, a wild trucker who eagerly disobeys traffic laws. Meanwhile, Kane and Maggie avoid assaults from multiple cars attempting to hold them up. With The Cowboys help, Dooley is able to arrive in time to save the armored car from a guided missile strike and foil a final attack from Klepper and Lazarus. OConnell, no longer willing to abide the scheme, arrives having captured Carlino and his associates, the two detectives who originally framed Dooley. The criminals are arrested and Dooley is invited back to the police force, along with a reluctant Kane.
