To stop an elusive criminal, a maverick detective enlists the aid of a police dog who's an unusually intelligent smart alec.

The extravagant cop Michael Dooley needs some help to fight a drug dealer who has tried to kill him. A "friend" gives him a drug-sniffing dog named Jerry Lee. With his help, Dooley sets out to put his enemy behind bars, but Jerry Lee has a personality of his own and works only when he wants to. On the other hand, the dog is quite good at destroying Dooley's car, house, sex-life, etc.—Flavio Rizzardi <spillo@maya.dei.unpid.it>

Mike Dooley, who works on the San Diego narcotics squad, is working on a stakeout of drug kingpin Ken Lyman and barely escapes with his life as his car is blown up by a helicopter sent by Lyman. Later, Mike is given a partner - a dog named Jerry Lee. Mike doesn't like Jerry Lee, but he begins to warm up to the dog when Jerry Lee shows how helpful he can be. Mike wants to know where Lyman's next drug shipment will take place, and Jerry Lee helps Mike. In order to keep Mike from messing up the shipment, Lyman has Mike's girlfriend Tracy kidnapped. Mike and Jerry Lee find Halstead, the car dealer who delivers Lyman's shipments, and with Jerry Lee's help, Mike takes the shipment from Halstead and drives the shipment to where Lyman is expecting it; this leads to a confrontation with Lyman.—Todd Baldridge
