Synopsis:

The British comedy team of Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball star in this funfest as a pair of policemen who man the police station in the small town of Little Botham. Crime is rare in Little Botham, and authorities plan to close the station as an economy measure. Not wanting to lose their jobs, Ball and Cannon fabricate a phony crime wave to make it look as if they're needed after all. But when they attempt to steal a valuable painting from Lloyd (Roy Kinnear), one of the richest men in town, they find that a gang of real art thieves have been at work, and now they have a serious case to crack. Boys in Blue is a remake of Ask a Policeman, a 1938 vehicle for British comedy star Will Hay.

Sgt. Cannon and PC Ball 'run' the police station in the sleepy town of Little Botham. When the station is threatened with closure due to the lack of crime, they decide to invent some crimes to justify their positions. In response, they try to steal a painting from a local businessman (Kinnear) and accidentally stumble across a gang of real art thieves, who have just stolen one million pounds worth of paintings. It is up to the two inept cops to stop them escaping with their haul!

Cannon and Ball play two policeman in a village called Dorminster, where there has been no crime for ten years. Threatened with the closure of the police station by their suspicious superiors, they plan a phoney crime that they can pretend to solve.
