Hanks plays Scott Turner, a fastidious investigator, who acquires Hooch (Beasley the Dog), a large Dogue de Bordeaux, after the murder of Amos Reed, the dog's previous owner. Turner was set to transfer to a better job with the Sacramento Police Department. David Sutton, played by VelJohnson, was set to be his replacement. Turner pleaded with his police chief (Nelson) to let him take the case. The energetic dog promptly sets about destroying Turner's house and turning his life upside-down. But, on a positive note is Turner's courtship of the veterinarian, who cared for Hooch. Eventually Turner, with the help of Hooch, uncovers a conspiracy led by his Captain, and Hooch gives his life to save Turner. In the end we see that Turner has replaced Nelson's character as Police Chief, and Sutton did indeed take Turner's former position. On the home front, Turner and the vet are married and expecting a child. The biggest twist is the discovery that Hooch managed to romance the vet's dog, who produced a litter of several Collies like herself....and one young Hooch!
