What is Ozzy & Drix About?
At the start of the series, Ozzy (Phil LaMarr) and Drix (Jeff Bennett) are chasing a scarlet fever germ. They get sucked up by a mosquito from their old host, Frank. Frank wasn't very healthy. Ozzy and Drix then land inside Hector Cruz (Justin Cowden), a healthy teenager.
After they defeat the germ, Ozzy and Drix become private investigators. Their job is to keep Hector safe and healthy. They also help him deal with the challenges of being a teenager.
