Nostalgic slapstick comedy set in a small town in the Canadian Rockies, where a nice-but-dim Mountie takes a stand against sneaky Snidely Whiplash.

In the community of Semi-Happy Valley, where nothing ever happens, Dudley Do-Right follows the hilarious exploits of the dedicated but hapless young Mountie.

Unlike the helpless victim tied to the railway tracks depicted in the cartoon, Dudley's girlfriend Nell (Parker - Sex and the City) has seen the world and is settled in Seattle, but still remains confused about her relationships with men.

The villainous Snidely Whiplash (Molina - Boogie Nights), is more dastardly than ever. He is out to rule the world, or at least one sleepy little part of it, and devises the scam of the century.

Having convinced Dudley that vampires lurk in the woods, he invents a gold rush and proceeds to make a killing by selling property to the newly arrived yuppies.

Leading the charge for gold is The Prospector (Monty Python's Eric Idle), an unsuspecting oaf who is swept into the limelight by Snidely.

As thousands of millionaire wannabe's storm the border, streaming into a town that has since been named Whiplash City, Dudley is fired by Nell's dad, Inspector Fenwick.

Stripped of his badge, his office, and his girl, the usually sweet, naïve Dudley is ready to "kick some serious butt."

He becomes a masked man on a mission, setting out on his motorcycle to defeat the villain, win the heart of the fair maiden and bring peace back to Semi-Happy Valley... Hopefully, he won't screw it up.
