elements of a crazy night at the theatre - Two Cops,

connecting doors, a very inexpeienced cop duo are trying
to do a sting operation on a possibly corrupt mayor. But the
hilarity ensues as the sting goes badly awry and it's not clear
who is taping who! Unnecessary Farce has more laughs per
minute than any comedy to hit the stage for a long time.
