A gang of crooks steal a college student's invisibility liquid.

An ailing security systems company is going down the drain when a young electronics genius invents C.H.O.M.P.S. - Canine Home Protection System. His invention is a robot dog, powerful and vicious when activated, which he hopes will stop a crime wave and help him win the security system owner's daughter.

Wesley Eure stars as Brian Foster, a computer wiz who creates a robotic dog with unusual abilities. Not only can he fetch, roll over and do all the usual tricks, he also has the ability to tell, with the help of X-ray vision and other far-out skills, whether a crime is in progress, making him the ideal companion for cops on the beat. No wonder a wily entrepreneur wants to market him for his own gain. Costars Red Buttons and Valerie Bertinelli.
