Shirley (Cindy Williams) wants more than anything to join the Ladies Auxiliary Milwaukee Police (The "LAMPS")--and, as usual, Laverne (Penny Marhsall) comes along for the ride. In order to qualify for the force, the girls must pass a grueling obstacle course. Upping the stakes a bit is an arrogant police captain (Mickey Deems) who thinks Shirley is too weak to survive the course, and a handsome police officer (Bo Kaprall) on whom Laverne has a passionate crush. Meanwhile, those celebrated "auteurs" Lenny (Michael McKean) and Squiggy (David L. Lander) try their hand at moviemaking.
