Plot Summary

A group of highly intelligent Doberman Pinschers, trained by a kind-hearted zoo keeper, are recruited by a bumbling bank robber. The dogs are used to carry out a series of heists, seemingly outsmarting the police at every turn. However, their canine nature and a determined detective threaten to unravel their criminal enterprise. It's a lighthearted caper filled with animal antics and a good dose of predictable humor.
