Further details
Beach decides that his men need to be taught tolerance of minority groups in the police force. The commissioner assigns expert Assistant Commissioner Terra Blacnhe to help them.
They try to bring in officers of minority groups to help them, but when they can't find any, Terra Blanche makes them all pretend to be from minority groups themselves.
Beach and Ray are made into black coppers, Strings is put in a wheelchair, Mark becomes a gay cop, de Sade and Bill are made WPCs and Bones is told to be a homeless man.
de Sade and Bill are make to dress in short skirts with stockings and suspenders and too much make-up and Terra Blanche insists their wages are cut, as it is a proven statistic that women don't work as hard as men.
Mark is made to dress in a glittery sequined uniform and wear a small moustache, Bones is made to look like a beggar from a Dickens novel and Beach and Ray are made to behave in a stereotypically Jamaican way, which does not go down well with the black community.
Beach decides enough is enough and calls in the Commissioner to sort it all out. Once Terra Blanche has gone Beach works to sort out Bones's gambling addiction, which he has acquired during his time on the streets. Several hours later Beach is still on the fruit machines himself.
