The crooks in London know how it works. No one carries guns and no one resists the police. Then a new gang appears that go one better. They dress as police and steal from the crooks. This upset's the natural order of the police/criminal relationship and the police and the crooks join forces to catch the IPOs (Impersonating Police Officers), including an armored car robbery in which the police must help the gangs to set a trap.
根据李佩甫的小说《无边无际的早晨》改编。40年代一个大年初一的清晨，大李庄村长老黑埋葬了一具女尸，并收养了女尸旁边的男婴，给孩子取名“治国”。勤奋的治国考上了县中学，“文化大革命”时期他带头闹事，被老黑一巴掌打回了大李庄。后来，他考上了省委党校大专班。毕业后，回来当了乡长，因大李庄的计划生育拖了全乡的后腿，他训斥了老黑。不久国家扶贫铁路要穿越大李庄的祖坟，老黑和村民以死相维护，治国说服了大家，带头挖了自己母亲的坟。数年后，治国当上了邻县的县长，临行前，老黑给他送来了“老娘土”。
