Bad Cop, Bad Cop

Police officers Lilywhite and Knutt (the "bad cop, bad cop" of the title) are hopelessly incompetent. Lafever is their friend, a lawyer with a relaxed attitude to the goings-on. Police graft, corruption and brutality are satirised in a very dry comic fashion, and with a stream of matter-of-fact obscenities.
