Arny Freeman

To give his sons a better life, a Puerto Rican widower hatches a scheme to set them adrift as Cuban refugees in a rowboat off the Florida coast.

In this adventure comedy-drama based on real-life personalities, two New York policemen (Ron Leibman and David Selby) fresh from the academy enrage their captain because they want to do more than control traffic. They are sent to a crime-ridden section of Brooklyn, where they develop their own bizarre and often amusingly extreme methods to fight drug dealers, criminals, and corrupt colleagues. The two gonzo cops find an unexpected ally in the form of a prostitute named Sara (Sheila E. Frazer).
