In the film, Mr. Otterton had urgent matters to discuss with his good friend and employer Mr. Big. He contacted Mr. Big, who sent a limousine to pick him up. Before that, he bought a pawpsicle from Nick Wilde and went to the Mystic Springs Oasis. When Yax and Nangi walked him out, Mr. Manchas picked him up in a limousine and started driving him to Mr. Big's mansion.
That night during the escort, however, Otterton is shot by a sniper with a pellet containing night howler serum, causing Otterton to regress to a savage state. In his last moments of sanity, Otterton madly yells "night howlers" as a warning to what had happened to him. When Manchas overhears the commotion, Otterton attacks him, brutally maiming the jaguar's eye and forcing the car to stop off-road while Manchas barely manages to get away alive from the now feral otter. With a snarl, Otterton then scurries off into the night. He is eventually captured by wolf security forces under the orders of Mayor Lionheart and incarcerated at Cliffside Asylum with other predatory citizens who also have gone savage.
Ten days later, Mr. Otterton is located by Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who was sent by Mrs. Otterton to find him, but only receive a fierce snarl from the otter, his sentience apparently absent from his mind. After the asylum is raided, Otterton is moved to a hospital, though still remains in his feral state. When Mrs. Otterton visits her husband, she is heartbroken to see the Emmitt she knew to be lost.
When it is discovered that the night howlers were the cause of the outbreak as an elaborate plot by Assistant Mayor Bellwether, an antidote for the savaged citizens is found. Among them, Mr. Otterton is eventually cured of his savage condition and happily reunites with his wife, who is there when he wakes up to sanity.
During the end credits, Mr. and Mrs. Otterton are seen at a concert held by Gazelle, happily dancing together.

==Trivia==
*According to the police report, Mr. Otterton is 2'4" in height, weighs 21 pounds, and has an address at 2347 Riverbrook Lane in Rainforest District.
**However, a deleted scene "Detective Work" shows that Otterton weighs 20 pounds.
**In the same deleted scene, Otterton's zip code is 91521, which is a zip code where the Walt Disney Studios building is located in Burbank, California.
*Mr. Otterton's full name is a reference to the Jim Henson TV special Emmett Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, according to Byron Howard.Everything You Need to Know About Zootopia January 6th, 2016
*He is a frequent attendant of the Mystic Springs Oasis naturalist club, owned by Yax.
*It is strongly implied that Mr. Otterton somehow figured out the night howler operation, due to his described desperation to talk to Mr. Big, as well as his mad wailing of the night howlers before becoming savage. Given his occupation as a florist, it is possible. This could also explain why he was targeted: to ensure his silence.
*According to Zootopia: The Official Handbook, Mr. Otterton first met his wife at the Sunday Meerkat Market in Sahara Square 20 years before the events of the film, where the latter was looking at spicy lentils.
*Emmitt's voice is never heard.
