The bumbling squad of French gendarmes from St. Tropez, led by Cruchot, is sent to New York City to represent France at an international police conference. Their trip is a classic fish-out-of-water story, as they cause chaos navigating the big city, dealing with cultural misunderstandings, and pursuing Cruchot's daughter, who has run away to marry her beatnik artist boyfriend.
