It follows the adventures of Claude, a neurotic and withdrawn young numbat, who inherits the struggling Gumnut Juice Factory from his step-Uncle Kelvin. Claude's nemesis is a fox called Hot Shot Charlie, and he and his cronies want to find the secret formula for Gumnut Juice and destroy the factory. Hot Shot kidnaps Uncle Kelvin, the only one who knows the formula, triggering Claude's epic journey. With an encrypted poem and a little help from his pals, Claude has to rescue Kelvin, find the secret formula, stop Hot Shot Charlie's evil plan and in the process overcome his terrible fears and shyness.
