Plot
Devon Butler (Norman D. Golden II) is an eight-year-old boy who lives in Tampa with his grandmother and dreams of being a cop. He watches police TV shows, knows police procedures and plays cops and robbers with his friend Ray (Sammy Hernandez). One day, while snooping around in a warehouse, he witnesses a murder. He goes to the police, who want the information but he refuses to give it unless they make him a cop. They place him in the care of veteran Detective Nick McKenna (Burt Reynolds), who dislikes children and the two team up in a comic series of events to find the killer and take down a drug kingpin who ordered the hit.
