A cop tries to foil an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth during her visit to the United States. Like other films by Abrahams and the Zuckers, this one is a relentless series of jokes. Of course, some of the jokes work and some don't, but the film is never dull, alternately generating groans and chuckles. Nielsen parlays his career-changing comedic turn in "Airplane!" into a role that he seems born to play, and he has a field day as the most idiotic cop since Inspector Clouseau roamed the streets of Paris. Presley also seems to be having fun as something of a femme fatale who becomes romantically entangled with Nielsen.
