Dragnet. 1987.

Straight by the book Sergeant Joe Friday is partnered with a laid back Pep Streebek and try solve unexplained crimes and a attempt kidnapping.

Dan Arkroyd stars as the straight face by the book Friday while Tom Hanks plays the easy going Streebek who tries to get his new partner to be more like him and introduces him to the place where they serve good coffee...a stripper bar. Late Christopher Plummer plays the T.V. minister who also has his own agenda on crime and leads his followers of pagans. Dabney Coleman plays the publisher of magazines in a homage to Hugh Hefner. This does have some comedy provided by Hanks but just a shame Arkroyd didn't write in much comedy for himself except some facial expressions still entertaining.
