A lighthearted 1930s buddy-cop action-comedy where two estranged former partners reunite to take down the mob, balancing wisecracks with gunplay.

Set in Kansas City in 1933, Eastwood plays a police lieutenant known simply by his last name, Speer. Reynolds plays a former cop turned private eye named Mike Murphy. Both Speer and Murphy served on the force together and were once good friends, but are now bitter enemies. When Murphy's partner is slain they team up again to fight the mob.
