Synopsis
The show is about a trio of mutant babies who fight off evil monsters and aliens. Their names are Meg, Derrick and Buck and their caregiver's name is Nurse Lazlo. The show takes place in Your City, USA.
After their birth, they were brought to an orphanage. When the entire Solar System aligned itself, the babies and their nurse were struck by lightning. The babies were given super strength and other super powers, and Nurse Lazlo's I.Q. rose.

Voice actors
Buck was voiced by Sonja Ball, Dean Hagopian voiced many male characters, Laura Teasdale did Derrick's voice, Meg was voiced by Jaclyn Linetsky, and Bronwen Mantel voiced Nurse Lazlo.
Even though the voices were recorded in Montreal, the voice directing was handled by Vancouver-based veteran voice actor and voice director Terry Klassen, who has done voice acting for many animated films and television series, such as voicing Krillin in the Ocean-dubbed version of Dragon Ball Z. Klassen has also voice-directed other shows such as Ed, Edd n Eddy, Johnny Test and several Barbie films, as well as the English dub of Cardcaptors. This was the only time that Klassen has ever voice-directed an animated project outside of Vancouver. During the later episodes, Terrence Scammell, who also voiced several characters in the series, as well as providing the main title narration, took over as voice director. Scammell has also done many voice acting roles for film, television and video games in both Montreal and Ottawa, Ontario.
