Everybody's favorite slobbering St. Bernard meets his dream-dog mate and becomes father to a slew of puppies - but bad guys kidnap the mom and threaten the little ones in this fast-paced family comedy.

With nefarious dognappers hot on his heels, an adorable puppy named Beethoven adopts the unsuspecting Newton family - and promptly grows up into 185 pounds of romping, drooling, disaster-prone St. Bernard! Charles Grodin is George, the none-too-thrilled father whose disdain for the cuddly canine turns to loyalty after Beethoven becomes the target of unspeakable animal experimentation.
