The series is set in a toon-filled world where cartoon characters, called “toons,” coexist with humans. The main character is Bonkers D. Bobcat, a zany and lovable toon cop who works for the Hollywood Police Department’s “Toon Division.” Bonkers is partnered with Lucky Piquel, a no-nonsense human detective who often finds himself exasperated by Bonkers’ unpredictable behavior.
