A wisecracking, rules-breaking Detroit cop finds himself in Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of a 
friend and teaches his stiff-necked Beverly Hills counterparts some lessons in the finer arts of police 
investigation techniques.


==========

Detroit cop Axel Foley is delighted when he receives a surprise visit from his best friend Mikey Tandino, 
who lives in California. Not long after Mikey arrives in Detroit, Mikey is killed, right in front of Axel, 
by a man named Zack. Axel follows Zack to Beverly Hills, California, where Beverly Hills police department 
Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil assigns Detective Billy Rosewood and Rosewood's partner, Sergeant John Taggart, 
to keep an eye on Axel. Axel visits his friend Jenny Summers, who works in an art gallery. With Jenny's help, 
Axel discovers that Zack works for Jenny's boss, Victor Maitland, the man who owns the art gallery. Maitland 
is a drug kingpin who is using the gallery as a front, and Maitland had Zack kill Mikey after Maitland 
accused Mikey of stealing some of Maitland's bonds. With the help of Jenny, Billy, and Taggart, Axel does 
what he can to make sure Maitland and Zack won't kill any more people.

down the killer, who he believes operate an arts dealership as a cover in Beverly Hills. He teams up with two 
reluctant detectives from the Beverly Hills police force who were supposed to keep a watch on him, especially 
after seeing Foley's different approach to tackling the situations which is not acceptable by the chief of the 
local police.
