Rusty: A Dog's Tale
Rusty: A Dog's Tale (Known as Rusty: The Great Rescue on Home Video) is a 1998 American adventure film directed by Shuki Levy and starring Hal Holbrook and Rue McClanahan. The movie was produced by Saban Entertainment and distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment under the CBS/Fox Video label.
Rusty is a two-year-old beagle who lives in an animal shelter with his mother Malley, his father Cap, his newborn siblings and a variety of other animals, including a cat, some chickens, a goat, some ducks, a rabbit, a snake, a pair of turtles, and an elephant named Ellie, who often visits the farm. Rusty wants to prove his worth to both his parents as a strong and loyal member of the family, but his father is insistent that he be patient.
After the recent death of their parents through unspecified circumstances, ten-year-old Jory Callahan and his younger sister Tess are currently under the care of their paternal grandparents Boyd and Edna, who are also the owners of the shelter. The quartet are constantly harassed and accosted by their older cousins Bart and Bertha Bimini, believing that Boyd and Edna cannot take adequate care of their grandchildren. They consider taking over from their elders as Jory and Tess' legal guardians, but Edna is very much against this idea, as the two are uneducated hillbillies whose only purpose to adopt the siblings is to squander the trust fund money their parents left for them (it is implied that the late Mr and Mrs. Callahan were well endowed). Undaunted by their refusal, the Bimini siblings are determined to adopt Jory and Tess and get their hands on the money by any means necessary.
Edna and Boyd hold a small birthday party for Jory with their friend Dylan and his father, policeman Sheriff Wilson attending (the latter for a short period of time). Among the presents is a framed photo of their late parents, which sends Tess to her room. Jory is quick to cheer her up. Meanwhile, hidden from the humans in the barn-shed, Rusty and the other animals try to stop the ducks Zelda and Myrtle from squabbling and bickering over the ownership of an egg.
The next day, Rusty and the three kids visit a carnival where Bart and Bertha are working as clowns. They are hoping to save up enough money to afford a lawyer. They are admonished by their boss for not selling balloons and he accidentally drops his wallet that Rusty snatches. A chase ensues in which Bart ends up crashing in a duck pond. The boss recovers his wallet and accuses the two of stealing. Bart and Bertha are eventually fired after a vicious tongue-lashing from the boss.
Discouraged, Bart and Bertha dine out where they see a very rich man, Carl Winthrope looking for the animal shelter; he plans to buy a puppy for his daughter at the exact price of $300. While Bart tells Winthrope that he knows the owner, he lies that he is the co-owner, a scene witnessed by Sheriff Wilson. After bidding the man farewell and getting his card, Bart and Bertha decide to kidnap the puppies and put them up for sale, especially since Edna and Boyd are financially struggling and with no puppies of their own to sell, the bank will foreclose the mortgage on their house.
The dog-napping goes off without a cinch, Rusty picks up their scent and decides to save them. With the help of a raccoon and a pigeon named Koo, he sets off to find the Bimini residence, an old shack that has seen better days. Meanwhile, Bertha leaves one of the female puppies out on the road, assuming her to be sick. Rusty reunites with his sisters and spends the night looking after her.
Back at the Callahan residence, Edna explains to Tess exactly why Bart and Bertha want to adopt her and her brother and the trust fund their parents left behind. After putting her to bed, she contemplates selling her wedding ring to pay off the mortgage. Boyd persuades her into keeping it.
