Plot
The Newton family from the original Beethoven movies is on cross country vacation in the United States of America but do plan to join a Newton family reunion in California and to make sure one of their family members definitely makes it, they ship him to travel to the reunion with George Newton's brother Richard. Guess which family member it was? That's right, Beethoven![citation needed] The giant mutt follows Richard Newton and his family of a nagging wife and two bratty kids as they hit the road to California in a huge, shiny and expensive RV, equipped with a DVD player. Following them are two bumbling criminals who have hidden some secret codes on a DVD that they figure no one in the world will buy (The Shakiest Gun in the West), but someone does: Richard. So now they've got a DVD holding top secret information and the criminals must get it back... The family is not only in trouble with the criminals but with the dog also. But after the dog saves Sarah from the criminals the family become very sad knowing they have to give him back. After the family gets to California they find out that the Newton family will not be coming, and that they have to keep the dog for another year.
