Two FBI agent brothers, Marcus (Marlon Wayans) and Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans), accidentally foil a drug bust. As punishment, they are assigned to escort a pair of socialites to the Hamptons to be used as bait for a kidnapper, but when the girls realize the plan, they refuse to go. Left without options, Marcus and Kevin decide to pose as the sisters, donning whiteface to comically painful and painfully comic effect in this outlandish comedy featuring an iconic dance battle scene.
