LAPD Sgt. Joe Friday -- the equally straight-laced nephew of the famous police sergeant of the same name -- is paired up with a young, freewheeling detective named Pep Streebeck. After investigating some strange robberies at the local zoo and the theft of a stockpile of pornographic magazines, they uncover cult activity in the heart of the city and are hot on the case to figure out who's behind it all.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gleefully absurd buddy cop comedy that treats ridiculous crimes (zoo robberies, stolen magazines, cult conspiracies) with deadpan earnestness, mining laughs from the clash between its straitlaced protagonist and his chaotic partner.
