The Amazing Dobermans (US re-release title Lucky) is a 1976 American comedy-crime film starring Fred Astaire, James Franciscus and Barbara Eden. It is the second and final sequel in a trilogy of Doberman films that includes The Doberman Gang (1972) and The Daring Dobermans (1973). The film was re-released theatrically in 1978 under the title Lucky and was distributed by Rosamond Productions.

Lucky Vincent (James Franciscus) is a gambler who, after a stretch of bad luck, owes over $12,000 to mobster Solly Kramer (Jack Carter). Lucky is rescued from Solly's goons by Daniel Hughes (Fred Astaire), a revivalist ex-con and his team of five trained Doberman pinschers. After going undercover at a circus, Lucky persuades Daniel to work up an act with his dogs and join the carnival; when Lucky discovers that Solly and his gang intend to rob an armored car hauling the circus's box office take, Daniel and his canine friends step forward to help thwart the plot. Along the way, Lucky also finds time to make romance with a beautiful circus performer named Justine (Barbara Eden).
