Mr. Song-and-Dance, Jeannie, and Miscellaneous team up with dogs and go after the bad guys

We all expect Fred Astaire to dance around with Ginger Rogers, we all expect Barbara Eden to dress like an Arabian harem and blink things out of thin air, and we all expect James Franciscus...okay, he's not noted for anything. But in "The Amazing Dobermans", Astaire owns a group of Dobermans whom he controls through a device that sends out sound waves. He uses this to help Franciscus escape some gangsters, while Franciscus and Eden get acquainted at the circus.

Obviously, the whole thing seems a little outlandish, but it's not hurting anything. Certainly not like anything that anyone would usually anticipate.
