Plot [edit]

In the town of Elkerton, Marvin Mange is an awkward, clumsy nice-guy who dreams of being a police officeholder like his dad was. He continuously fails the physical test to become a full-fledged police officer, is mistreated by sleazy police force sergeant Doug Sisk, and he awkwardly fumbles through a first encounter with his idol, ecology protester Rianna. He works in the police station every bit an evidence clerk and is friends with drome security guard Miles who is a victim of "opposite racism" and fellow cadet Fatty. While alone at the station, he receives a robbery call from a eatery. He takes the telephone call and drives off the road, tumbling downwardly a mountain. A boulder falls on the car.

Days later, Marvin returns to his normal life with no memory of what happened. He is total of life while not noticing surgical marks on his back and fur on his rear end. He can outrun horses, mean dogs are scared of him, he jumps to catch frisbees in his mouth, and he does not need his asthma medicine. He thinks it is due to his consumption of "Annoy Milk", which is guaranteed in the ads to make him stronger.

He goes to the airport to talk to Miles about his problem. While there, Marvin sniffs out a man hiding heroin in his rectum. Marvin is alleged a hero and is made a full-fledged police officeholder past Chief Marion Wilson.

Marvin often wakes up in strange places, and later hears about fauna attacks that occurred in the middle of the night. Because of these attacks, the mad scientist Dr. Wilder believes that Marvin is out of command. Wilder takes him to his laboratory, and explains about the grafts and transplants that saved Marvin'southward life and gave him beast powers. He gives him pointers on controlling the rampant beast urges that oft prompt him to behave inappropriately in public.

Despite continuing embarrassments caused by Marvin's fauna urges, his animal abilities let him to excel as a police officer. He is partnered with Sisk, and gets a date with Rianna.

Principal Wilson questions Marvin about late-night attacks on cows because one of the witnesses fabricated a law sketch and information technology looks like Marvin. Chief Wilson puts Marvin on paid go out.

Rianna goes to Marvin'south house, where he has barricaded himself inside. She is convinced that he cannot be backside the animal attacks. They spend the nighttime together. Marvin insists on being tied up so he cannot injure anyone, but Rianna unties him after he falls asleep. The police force show up to abort Marvin for an set on on a hunter that nighttime. Rianna convinces him to run. Marvin escapes to the forest. The police organize a search party to capture Marvin. While running through the woods, Marvin finds Wilder. The scientist tells him that another patient of his is out of control.

Sgt. Sisk confronts Marvin and is nigh to shoot him. Rianna jumps from a tree onto Sisk. In the presence of Wilder, Miles, and Fat, she confesses that she was too operated on past Wilder and attacked the hunter in social club to protect the turkey vulture that she released into the wild. An angry mob and constabulary arrive to take out Marvin. Miles takes the arraign for everything. Once the mob thinks a black man was responsible, the mob members don't want to take activity causing Chief Wilson to call off the hunt much to the dismay of Miles.

One year later, Marvin and Rianna get married, open an animal sanctuary, and have a litter of children. While watching television receiver, they see Dr. Wilder win the Nobel Prize.
