Beethoven's 3rd is the second sequel to the 1992 film, Beethoven. Additionally, this is the third installment in the Beethoven film series. It was never given a cinematic release, being released directly to VHS, and later to DVD.
Plot
The Newton family from the original Beethoven movies is on a cross country vacation in the USA 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 there with George's brother Richard. Guess which family member it was? That's right, Beethoven![citation needed] The giant mutt follows Richard 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. They are not only in trouble with the criminals but with Beethoven also. But after he saves Sara from the criminals the family becomes very sad knowing they have to give him back. After they get to California they find out that George and family will not be coming, and that they have to keep Beethoven for another year.
