Plot
The plot centers on five Vermont state troopers who seem to have more of a knack for pranks than actual police work. Most of their time is spent devising new ways of messing with the heads of the people they pull over, hazing the new recruit, "Rabbit", and tormenting their easily infuriated radio dispatcher, Farva, who has been exiled from patrol work because he, as later revealed during the credits, was involved in a fight with several students on a traffic stop of a schoolbus. Their days of pranking and slacking off are cut short when the troopers suddenly find themselves attempting to solve a murder, bust a drug-smuggling ring, and avoid having their post eliminated by the state's impending budget cut — resulting in their transfer, or quitting and "opening up a roller disco." The “Vermont State Police†(VSP) is the state police agency for the state of Vermont, which has jurisdiction anywhere in the state. ...

The troopers have an ongoing rivalry with the local police department in Spurbury and constantly quarrel with them ("highway cops versus the local cops"); one such dispute breaks out into an all-out fistfight, further increasing the station's chances of being shut down. The rivalry eventually results in the governor's (Lynda Carter) praise for the efforts of the Spurbury PD, who had managed to keep one step ahead of the state police by making their department appear responsible for the confiscation of the smuggled drugs. For the two Marvel Comics nurse characters, see Night Nurse (comics). ...
Defeated, the defrocked troopers unexpectedly stumble upon the local police running protection for the drug smugglers. The film's epilogue finds the state troopers' highway post still eliminated due to the budget cuts; however, they are the new local police officers (replacing their presumably incarcerated corrupt predecessors) and thus continue their hijinks in and around their jurisdiction. An epilogue, or epilog, is a piece of writing at the end of a work of literature or drama, usually used to bring closure to the work. ...
The troopers - Arcot "Thorny" Ramathorn (Jay Chandrasekhar) is a veteran of the Vermont State Troopers who is more or less the second in command in his station. Although he is the most serious of the field officers in his station, he has no inhibitions against bending the rules and playing pranks if he knows they will not result in any serious repercussions. He has a son as well as a hippie girlfriend who owns a head shop. Both he and his girlfriend sleep with other people including a couple the troopers arrested. His ethnicity remains a point of confusion and humor for the others who confuse him for a Mexican, Arab-American and an African-American rather than the Indian-American that he is.
- Robert "Rabbit" Roto (Erik Stolhanske) is the newest addition to the force. He is partnered with Ramathorn until he is caught speeding in a car confiscated from two suspects as stolen property and demoted to dispatch, although he is soon promoted back. He is often accused by Farva of knowing more about drugs than he should and is accused of having toured with the Grateful Dead when he was younger.
- MacIntyre "Mac" Womack (Steve Lemme) is the trooper who enjoys pranks the most. He is called a “sick mother fucker” by Captain O'Hagen for the level to which he takes his tricks. Mac is the proud owner of a costume that looks like a man having sex with a bear. Mac is also the most expressive of the troopers, whether verbally ridiculing Farva for his lame tricks or nearly taking out his anger for the closing of his station through violence against Foster.
From left to right: Ramathorn, Foster, Mac, Rabbit and Farva. - Jeff Foster (Paul Soter) is arguably the calmest and most reserved trooper of the force. He engages in a relationship with Spurbury local police officer Ursula during the movie and, informed by his girlfriend Ursula, ultimately uncovers the corruption of the local police. He is often mocked by his coworkers for his inability to grow a moustache.
- Rodney "Rod" Farva (Kevin Heffernan) is fat, loud, obnoxious and arrogant. He is almost always under suspension from field work due to his inability to control his anger. His pranks (shenanigans) are often described as “cruel and tragic” rather than “cheeky and fun” making them not simply “shenanigans”, but “evil shenanigans”. He advocates the naming of his patrol car with Ramathorn as “Car RamRod.”
- Captain John O'Hagen (Brian Cox) is the captain of his Vermont State Troopers station. He acts as a mentor and father to his troopers and tries his best to keep the station from being cut from the budget. He is a two-time boxing champion in the Navy and is derided by Farva for his choice in dress as wearing a “Canadian Tuxedo” — an outfit made completely from denim. Brian Cox is also the only actor to play a Trooper who is not a member of Broken Lizard.
