“The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” is a comedic parody that follows the bumbling Lieutenant Frank Drebin as he tries to protect Queen Elizabeth II during her Los Angeles visit. Uncovering a plot to assassinate her using a brainwashed baseball player, Drebin’s investigations lead him to a series of hilarious misadventures, climaxing in an unforgettable baseball game at Anaheim Stadium.

In this side-splitting sequence, Drebin disguises himself first as an opera singer and then as an umpire in a desperate attempt to thwart the would-be assassin, Reggie Jackson. This iconic stadium scene, filled with botched national anthem renditions and comedic brawls, stands out as a memorable fusion of suspense and humor in film history.
