They're making America safe...barely
Be thankful they don't work during the day!
The long arm of the law has reached an all time low!
The streets are crawling with weirdos, hookers, perverts and peeping toms. And this time, they're wearing badges.
Even more heroic than "Patrol Busters". Even more punks than "Purple Patrol". Even more action-packed than "Raiders of the Lost Patrol". Even more fashionable than "La Cage aux Patrol". [Australia Theatrical]
They're weird, wacky, punky, spunky . . . be thankful they don't work during the day! [Australia Theatrical]
They were trained at the Police Academy. They were toughened on the streets of Los Angeles. And now they're ready for NIGHT PATROL!

PLOT SUMMARY

Melvin is a pathetic loser of a motorcycle cop who gets demoted to working the night shift as a punishment for his constant screw-ups. During his off-duty time, however, Melvin turns to his secret obsession: comedy. He puts a paper bag over his head and performs in front of audiences as "The Unknown Comic". Unable to balance his two lives, he seeks psychiatric help to try and resolve who he really wants to be.
