Informing modern-day 1990s copper David Spanker that he must team up with a crew of various TV detectives from the 1970s, Spanker must reluctantly follow orders. The assembled team of maverick police detectives comprise of "Shouting" George of "The Weeny", Bonehead and Foyle of "The Bullshitters", and suave, flamboyant Jason Bentley. But as the law of hackneyed detective shows dictates, attempting to solve the mystery proves stressful.
