In this parody in the vein of Police Squad!, each 30-minute episode was hosted by Robert Vaughn and features two 15-minute mini-shows. They are: The Searcher: A nameless leather-clad motorcyclist who helps anyone who can reach him... and is a doofus of epic proportions. Tropical Punch: Adam West plays Captain Mike Morgan, the bumbling head of an elite Hawaiian police squad. Two of the 30-minute segments featured complete Searcher stories. In the last of seven episodes, Tropical Punch was swapped out for a new team of college-age crimefighters, two coffee-shop denizens who work as PIs and spend their time mostly drinking coffee and wearing cool clothing.
