A couple of wild Chicago cops (Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines) employ some pretty unorthodox methods to capture a notorious drug runner (Jimmy Smits) who is loose in the city. After that's done, they'll be able to retire to a far-off land of warmth and women.

Editor's Note
Two wild Chicago cops use their unorthodox tactics to nab a notorious drug runner before they begin their retirement in the land of warmth and women, Key West.
Plot Summary
After toiling through years of freezing winters, two undercover cops plan to leave Chicago and retire to a lush tropical island -- if they can only make it through their last month of service. But Ray and Danny may have trouble reaching their paradise. A ruthless Latino drug lord wants the wisecracking duo dead, and it sometimes seems that half the city is in on the hit. An apocalyptic shootout under the smooth glass exterior of the Illinois State Building ends the bloody conflict with an exclamation point.
