Frank Dooley, a LAPD officer and Norman Kane, a defense attorney, have both been recently drummed out of their respective professions. Needing work they both join a security guard company. The pair soon uncover a scheme formulated by the security guard union's leaders (who collect $15 from each worker's weekly paycheck) to embezzle the money for their own personal gain.
The pair are assigned to guard a toxic waste site as punishment after clashing with the union leaders, who refuse to answer questions about the status of the pension's fund.
Eager to snag the crooks, they set out as spies to foil a million-dollar armored car heist.
The film opened in the United States on August 15 of 1986.
