1975111 min6.0 / 10

A breezy, action-comedy fish-out-of-water romp where a brash Chicago cop clashes with stuffy British authorities while pursuing a mobster in London.

A hard-nosed Chicago cop is sent to London to bring back an American mobster being held for extradition. Brannigan in his Irish-American way brings American law to the people of Scotland Yard but has to contend with a stuffy old London first.
