Super Troopers Plot Summary

What happens in Super Troopers from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In the wonderfully quirky town of Spurbury, Vermont, four dedicated state troopers—Lieutenant Arcot Ramathorn, “Rabbit” Roto, “Mac” Womack, and Carl Foster—oversee a 50-mile stretch of highway while indulging in their playful rivalry with the local police department. Although they are cautioned about their station’s dangerously low productivity, these troopers find more joy in orchestrating elaborate pranks on hapless motorists and each other than in doing their actual jobs. This playful spirit is particularly directed toward their colleague, Rodney Farva, who, overflowing with self-confidence, has recently been suspended following an undisclosed incident.
