Plot summary
Sal DeMarco hosts an animal show, and Eddie Thornton is his assistant animal trainer. Both men are hired to train the animals for a movie starring a bichon frise named Frizzy. When Frizzy disappears, Sal blames Eddie, and producer Patricia fires him. Patricia and Stanley refuse to pay a ransom and hold auditions for a replacement dog. Eddie's son Billy, meanwhile, finds a large stray St. Bernard following him and takes him home, naming him Beethoven after the dog responds to Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Eddie returns to a wrecked house and brings Billy and Beethoven along to collect his lizard, Pete; Beethoven chases Pete through the studio and wins the part.
