The plot follows Frank Drebin Jr. as he steps into his father’s footsteps to join Police Squad. He must use his particular—and often ridiculous—set of skills to solve a case and prevent the police department from being shut down. The film aims to recapture the slapstick humor, sight gags, and deadpan wordplay of the original series while bringing the comedy into the 2020s.

The movie, which also stars Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser, premiered in the United States on August 1, 2025, and has been met with positive reviews for its faithfulness to the original’s comedic style.
