The rest of the movie revolves around Jake's misadventures as a business executive and a millionaire pet. The business world is a harsh place, and Jake quickly learns that his new responsibilities go beyond idle playtime and care. The cunning Ed Cash has plans to take over the company by getting rid of Jake, but Jake, with the help of Ellen, his new owner, and the retired CEO of the company, Stills, sets out to stop the evil plans of Cash and save the company's reputation. As Jake and Ellen discover the extent of Kohlmeyer's fortune, they become the targets of Cash's deception, who uses all means to get rid of them and take control of the company´s riches.
