Synopsis:

In this charming comedy that lives up to its title, Judge Reinhold stars as Joe Gower, a librarian's assistant posing as a police officer and trying to win the heart of a beautiful police officer, Rachel Wareham (Meg Tilly). A complex chain of events is put in place when Joe agrees to help out a good friend who's a policeman by taking his place at an audition for the cop's annual benefit show. Once at the auditions, Joe falls for Rachel, who will be dancing in the benefit. Joe starts hanging out with the choreographer in order to spend more time with Rachel. Unfortunately, this gets him into his borrowed police uniform more than he would like, and soon he's carrying out the duties of a beat cop while wearing his disguise.

As a favour, a library clerk swaps places with his policeman friend at a dance audition. Whilst there he falls for a young police woman, and finds himself having to pretend to be a policeman all the time, even stopping some crooks.

The story of a wacky librarian who impersonates a New York city policeman during a dance contest. When he unexpectedly wins the competition, the fast paced comedy begins.
