A friendly but mischievous St. Bernard puppy wanders into the lives of a busy family. The father is initially annoyed by the growing dog's chaotic presence, but the children adore him. As Beethoven grows into a giant, slobbering adult, he becomes a central part of the household, ultimately proving his worth when he must protect the family from a pair of thieves who have their own plans for him.
