Synopsis

Laissée sous la surveillance de son frère Ioura, la petite Natacha s'échappe et va se promener toute seule dans les rues de Moscou. Elle se joint d'abord à une classe de maternelle sortie en ville, mais le temps que la maîtresse appelle la police elle quitte l'établissement et s'invite chez un géologue célibataire dans un appartement communautaire. Elle s'éclipse de nouveau et, poursuivant un chat, manque de se faire écraser par une voiture. Elle est recueillie par un vieux couple sans enfants en chemin vers leur maison de campagne, qui décident de l’amener avec eux. À la gare, la petite fille se mêle à la foule, puis aborde quelques membres de l'équipe de football qui la prennent pour l'enfant de l'un des supporters et la font monter dans leur voiture. Pendant ce temps, le frère de Natacha avec ses amis et un inspecteur de police sont à sa recherche.

In 1939 New Orleans, a roguish German Shepherd named Charlie B. Barkin escapes from a dog pound with the help of his friend, a dachshund named Itchy Itchiford. They return to a casino riverboat on the bayou, which is formerly run by Charlie with his partner, a bulldog named Carface Caruthers. Not wanting to share the profits with Charlie, Carface persuades him to leave town with 50% of the casino's earnings. Charlie agrees, but is later intoxicated and murdered by Carface. He is sent to Heaven where a whippet angel named Annabelle (who was named in the sequel) tells him that a gold watch representing his life has stopped. He steals and winds it, sending Charlie back to Earth, but is told that if he dies again, he will go to Hell. After reuniting with Itchy, they discover that Carface is holding an orphan girl named Anne-Marie (presumably kidnapped from the orphanage by Carface), who has the ability to talk to animals and gain knowledge of a race's results beforehand, allowing Carface to rig the odds on the rat races and become rich. They rescue her, intending to use her abilities to get revenge on Carface, though Charlie tells her that they plan to give their winnings to the poor and help her find parents.
