Plot

A young man invents a robot dog that has super strength, x-ray vision and can detect crimes being committed. A greedy businessman tries to steal the boy's invention from him.

Sinekatalog’s take

A boy's super-strong robot dog thwarts a greedy businessman. A kid-oriented Hanna-Barbera caper with dated effects and silly gags, harmless nostalgia for younger viewers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
