Four teenage detectives and two bloodhounds solved crimes in the manner of Scooby-Doo, but with more current technology. Dotty, the youngest and smartest member of the team, was always told to stay behind and analyze the clues, communicating with the others via two-way radio. Like Scooby-Doo, Woofer and Whimper were easily scared, though Woofer claimed to be a greater detective than any human. Just when the gang was about to solve the mystery, Dotty arrived with Sheriff Bagley to contribute to the summation.
