The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad movie synopsis. A re-run of many of the gags from the original TV series ‘Police Squad’. An Airplane type spoof, this time with the an incompetent lieutenant (Drebin) who always ‘gets his man’. Visual gags come thick and fast, and it’s impossible to catch them all with one viewing. The plot.. Queen Elizabeth II of England is coming to town, and Vincent Ludwig has plans to assassinate her using a brainwashed baseball player.
