The series takes place in a world of anthropomorphic animals and follows the adventures of Sam Snow and Kit Casey, two agents employed by the Covert League of Animal Detective Experts (or C.L.A.D.E. for short), as they travel around the world solving many mysteries while using their expertise in problem-solving and animal facts. Characters
Sam Snow (voiced by Shash Hira) - a Snow Leopard with an English accent and Kit's partner. A neat freak by nature and always out for clues and gizmos, Sam is a master detective and tends to be the one to analyze the situation at hand. True to his species, Sam hates getting wet and thrives in cold, snowy weather, though unlike Kit he is less than agile and often stumbles during most chases, despite being the most cautious of the two. Sam's main gadget is a glove that performs similarly to Kit's visor, but he is also responsible for carrying the Clu-Bots: small spherical robots that can transform for many different purposes. His catchphrases are "Whiskers, that's it!" and "Whiskers!". Kit Casey (voiced by Nneka Okoye) - a yellow Kit Fox with an American accent and Sam's partner. Unlike her partner, Kit is naturally a total slob and never misses a chance to snack when possible, though despite being a worse detective than Sam she more than makes up for it with her vast knowledge of the various animal species they encounter. Unlike Sam, Kit doesn't mind getting wet and is far more reckless, reveling in hot tropical weather. Kit's main gadget is a visor that performs similarly to Sam's glove, but she also carries around a pen and notebook to draw out details on the latest suspect. Her catchphrases are "What in the woolly world? ", "Twist my tail", "Don't get your tail twisted", and "Ain't that something." Peggy Scratch (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) - a brown chicken and the director of C.L.A.D.E. While she puts up a serious and professional front, Director Scratch is just as eccentric as her employees, and not above their levels of fun and frivolities. Although she rarely leaves HQ on missions, Scratch is very accomplished and very competent in the field, being an accomplished egg bowler on top of managing case files in her office. Her catchphrase before sending the two agents down is "C.L.A.D.E. is counting on you!". Bill and Jill - a pair of mice who make up a duo known as the Mice Squad. Typically based in a miniature news van, the Mice Squad is responsible for alerting C.L.A.D.E. agents of missions requiring intervention. The pair are also professional musicians, with many followers due to the quality of their soundtracks. Both of them also feature in the end-of-episode "Fact File" segments alongside R.O.N., where they examine facts about the episode's featured animals. Hans and Harold Stinkwell - two German-accented skunk brothers who serve as C.L.A.D.E. 's mechanical experts. In addition to maintaining equipment around HQ, the Stinkwells are responsible for developing new inventions that allow the agents to carry out their missions as best as possible. A running gag in the series is that as skunks, a number of their inventions tend to smell bad, and typically, at least one of the brothers will fart whenever they appear on screen. Unlike Sam, Kit, R.O.N., Director Scratch, and the Mice Squad, the Stinkwells do not appear or speak in every episode, appearing only as semi-regulars. Wally Bungler (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) - a brown flying squirrel and self-proclaimed "Nature Ranger" who travels around the world to help out wherever he can. While Sam and Kit usually employ and appreciate his help, Wally has a tendency to arrive uninvited, while neither he nor the C.L.A.D.E. agents are appreciative of his mother making unexpected calls at inopportune moments. Wally is less organized and more egotistical than Sam or Kit, but he is very competent in the thick of things, and his ability to reach higher elevations makes him a useful asset to the team. Like the Stinkwells, Wally only appears on an infrequent basis. R.O.N. (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) - an artificially intelligent jet plane who serves as Sam and Kit's primary transport. R.O.N. stands for Reconnaissance Organized Navigator and is an advanced flying machine equipped with various features to aid in their missions. R.O.N. has its own personality and often engages in playful banter with Sam and Kit. It has a dry sense of humor and tends to provide witty remarks during their adventures. R.O.N. can transform into different modes, including a jet mode for high-speed travel, a stealth mode for undercover operations, and a surveillance mode for gathering information. It possesses advanced technology like holographic displays and state-of-the-art navigation systems. R.O.N. is a reliable and valuable asset to the team, ensuring that Sam and Kit reach their destinations quickly and safely. Junior Agent Cubby - a female dog who is top of her class at the academy. First named in the third-season finale, Cubby was first seen in the first season as an unnamed background character who appeared sporadically until her first named appearance. Barb - A bark scorpion who debuted in the third season. Sharp-tongued and sarcastic but fierce and loyal, Barb and Sam started off at odds before they bonded just as much as she did with Kit.
