Plot
Dono, Kasino, and Indro are employed as private community service officers, dedicated to maintaining security and public order. Alongside the Warkop DKI trio, the film stars the late Panji Anom as Junet, their boss at CHIPS, and Sherly Malinton as Lita, Dono's romantic interest. From the outset, the film presents a series of comedic incidents: Kasino chasing after a reckless trail motorcyclist, Indro managing the antics of a mischievous child named Tomi (played by Memet Mini), and Dono ending up soaked after accidentally falling into a river with Lita during a romantic interlude.

A memorable line from the film is "Jangkrik Boss," uttered by Kasino upon catching his boss in a compromising situation with a woman in the forest. The film concludes somewhat tragically as Dono is compelled to abandon his plans to propose to Lita, who must honor her arranged marriage with Junet, their boss. Nonetheless, Dono exacts a humorous revenge by tossing Junet's cigar in a fit of rage, which elicits laughter from the trio as they play a prank on their former boss. Ultimately, the film ends on a comedic note.

Release
The film was produced in 1982 and officially released to the public on 15th April 1983.

Legacy
During the controversy between Warkop DKI and Warkopi in 2021, comedian Sammy Notaslimboy claimed that the film CHIPS was clearly plagiarized from the CHIPs TV series.

The CHIPS organization was reintroduced in the first and second installments of the Warkop DKI Reborn film series. These films were released in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
