The Shaggy DA

ENOUGH KID STUFF. WE'RE GETTING BACK TO GRITTY ADULT INTENDED MOVIES. Today we watched the Shaggy DA, the hit sequel to the Shaggy Dog. Did you miss our Shaggy Dog episode? DON'T WORRY. IT DOESN'T EXIST. Many fan theories insist that the the Shaggy Dog cinematic universe actually begins with the sequel and if you watch it in reverse it's the story of a dog overcoming nearly impossible odds to become a crooked human lawyer. More on that in the episode.

When successful lawyer Wilby Daniels (Dean Jones) returns from vacation to find his home has been burglarized, he decides to clean up the town by running against the corrupt John Slade (Keenan Wynn) in the upcoming district attorney election. However, just as Wilby begins his campaign, he learns that a ring has been stolen from a museum that has the power to turn him temporarily into a sheepdog. Knowing he could transform at any moment, Wilby attempts to win the election.
