(The Organisation for World Liberty) was a secret government organisation whose agents were young people with physical disabilities. Using devices like laser-beam-firing crutches and computerized wheelchairs, the kids from O.W.L. always overcame the bumbling plots of operatives from S.L.I.M.E. (the Southern Latitude's International Movement for Evil).
