When six-year-old Robbie takes up residence in his favourite tree to be with his friend the peewee bird, his family is forced to se the world from his point of view.

Police officers Lilywhite and Knutt (the "bad cop, bad cop" of the title) are hopelessly incompetent. Lafever is their friend, a lawyer with a relaxed attitude to the goings-on. Police graft, corruption and brutality are satirised in a very dry comic fashion, and with a stream of matter-of-fact obscenities.
