Plot

This cartoon is about a young detective named Gadget Boy. He is a bionic kid, meaning he has cool robot parts. Gadget Boy is a bit clumsy, much like Inspector Gadget. But he always gets out of trouble with his many high-tech gadgets. His arms and legs can even stretch!

Gadget Boy's robot parts were put in by an inventor named Myron Dabble. Myron also has a secret crush on Agent Heather. Gadget Boy and Heather get their missions from Chief Stromboli. The Chief often gets into funny situations because of Gadget Boy's mistakes.

Agent Heather is a smart and helpful agent. She is tall and very good at solving problems. She often helps Gadget Boy when he gets stuck. They are also helped by a robot dog named G-9. G-9 is super smart and can change his shape to help them. He often saves the day in tricky situations.

The main bad guy in the show is Spydra. She is a villain with a mask and six arms. Spydra is like a female version of Dr. Claw. She has a sarcastic pet vulture named Boris. Boris often gets picked on by Spydra. Her henchmen are two twin brothers, Mulch and Hummus.

The main theme song for the show was written by Mike Piccirillo.
