After a local performance of Romeo and Juliet, the lead actors, who are suspected of engaging in an affair, are murdered by a cloaked figure. Angel suspects foul play, but everyone else passes it off as an accident. When Angel is called to resolve a neighborhood dispute, he discovers a stash of unlicensed firearms and an old naval mine in an elderly man's shed. Angel confiscates the stash and locks it in the police station's evidence room. In the village pub, Danny and Angel meet Simon Skinner, the villainous manager of the local supermarket, and George Merchant, a wealthy drunkard. Angel slowly warms to Danny and they watch action movies at Danny's home.
Angel witnesses several more gruesome murders, which are dismissed by the locals and most of the other officers as accidents. Merchant is killed when someone sets off a gas explosion that destroys his mansion. At the local fair, Tim Messenger, editor of the Sandford Citizen, approaches Angel, claiming to have information regarding Merchant, only to be killed by a robed figure. Angel persuades Frank that Messenger was murdered and starts to suspect that the killings are connected to a recent property deal. Leslie Tiller, the village florist, is murdered right after telling Angel that she intends to move out of Sandford. Angel gives chase but loses the killer. He accuses Skinner of the murders, but Skinner's alibi is backed up by video footage. Angel theorises that there are multiple killers, but Frank dismisses the idea.
When he returns to his room, Angel is attacked by Michael Armstrong, one of Skinner's employees. Angel knocks out Armstrong and follows clues that lead him to a secret NWA meeting. Angel confronts Skinner and the NWA and tries to arrest them. The group reveals that they kill residents who threaten Sandford's chances of winning the "Village of the Year" award, mostly for petty reasons. Frank reveals himself to be the leader and founder of the NWA. Angel flees and discovers the bodies of the NWA's victims. As the NWA corners Angel, Danny appears and fakes Angel's murder. Pretending to dispose of the body, Danny helps Angel escape the NWA, and convinces him to leave the village for his own safety.
At a petrol station, Angel sees some of the action films he watched with Danny on sale. Inspired, he returns to Sandford, where he arms himself with the confiscated guns and reunites with Danny. They engage in shootouts with the NWA. Frank sends the other officers to intervene, but Angel and Danny persuade them to join their battle against the NWA. They besiege the supermarket, forcing Skinner and Frank to flee. After a car chase, Angel fights Skinner at a model village of Sandford, which ends with Skinner being impaled on the miniature village church and arrested. Frank crashes a car while trying to escape and is also arrested.
Angel's former superiors beg him to return to London, as the crime rate has risen in his absence, but Angel remains in Sandford. Tom Weaver, the last NWA member, bursts in to the police station and tries to shoot Angel; Danny dives in front of the blast, saving Angel, and Weaver accidentally activates the confiscated naval mine, killing himself and destroying the station. One year later, Angel and Danny are in charge of the Sandford Police as Inspector and Sergeant.
