Drebin's partner Det. Norberg (O.J. Simpson) is killed by drug dealers, and Drebin suspects that shipping magnate Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo montalban) is behind the murder. After being bumped from the police force, Drebin gets help from Ludwig's ex-girlfriend Jane (Priscilla Presley) in his search for answers. The trail leads to a baseball game where Reggie Jackson has been programmed with a mind control device that will make him kill Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to America. The finale at the baseball game is a near classic. Cast Leslie Nielsen Lt. Frank Drebin Priscilla Presley Jane Spencer Ricardo Montalban Vincent Ludwig George Kennedy Capt. Ed Hocken O.J.
