Plot

Growing up, friends Mitch Weaver and Sam McKenna are taught by Sam's no-nonsense father, "Pops" McKenna, not to "take crap from anyone". To that end, the pair plant a bunch of guns in the school bully's desk and have him arrested for gun possession; next, they catch a kid-fondling crossing guard in the act, after having applied Krazy Glue to the back of Mitch's pants.
