action

The action takes place in New Orleans in 1939. Charlie B. Barkin, a German Shepherd , ends up in prison through an intrigue by his partner Carface Carruthers, a bulldog . Thanks to the help of his friend Itchy, a basset hound , Charlie escapes, but is soon killed on Carface's behalf. Since all dogs go to heaven because, in contrast to humans, they are generally good, loyal and loyal by nature, Charlie can also be found at the gate of heaven. There he meets Annabelle, an angel. However, Charlie believes he died too early, so he steals his clock and returns to earth. However, this means that the German Shepherd will never be able to return to Heaven as it has forfeited its place there. If he dies again, so his life clock stops ticking, he must go to hell.
First, however, Charlie is busy trying to get revenge on Carface. Together with Itchy he opens a bar to compete with Carface ' Casino . Shortly afterwards, Charlie meets Anne-Marie, a girl who can talk to animals. The German Shepherd quickly realizes that because of this ability, she can be very useful for his plans. From then on he reads her every wish from her lips. However, Anne-Marie longs for a family and soon finds out that Charlie uses unfair methods. Anne-Marie's dinner with a childless couple, at which Charlie watches the girl, ends after Carface's appearance with a chase in which the German shepherd and Anne-Marie narrowly escape the bulldog. They get to know King Gator, a giant alligator, and make friends with him.
Meanwhile, Carface, still on the hunt for Charlie, and his henchmen raided Charlie's bar, seriously injuring Itchy. When the shepherd comes back, the basset hound reproaches him seriously for not being there and basically never being there for him because he only cares about Anne-Marie. To appease Itchy, Charlie tells him that Anne-Marie means nothing to him and that he would just use her. Anne-Marie, who is now very ill, hears this and runs away. She is captured by Carface and put in a cage. While trying to free Anne-Marie, Charlie is tied to an anchor and thrown into the water, but is freed by King Gator. While fighting Carface, Charlie loses his life clock. At the same moment, however, Anne-Marie threatens to slide into the water and drown. Since he cannot save his watch and Anne-Marie at the same time, Charlie chooses Anne-Marie and saves her life. While Carface is being devoured by King Gator, you can see Charlie's watch stop.
Anne-Marie is finally taken in by the childless couple, whereupon Charlie appears as a ghost in her bedroom to be able to see her one last time and to entrust her with the task of looking after Itchy. Then Annabelle appears to him. She explains to Charlie that he can return to heaven because he selflessly sacrificed his life for Anne-Marie. Carface also manages to wind his watch and now wants to go back to life.

The reviews were rather negative, especially the design of the characters, which many observers found unsympathetic, and the background music was criticized. Roger Ebert , on the other hand, praised the impressive color scheme, which would remind him of the early cartoons.
