Line 7:
Teenaged girl Cassie and her father were separated when their space ship was attacked by space pirates; she made it to an escape pod, he didn't. Now, she's off to find him again, with the assistance of the biggest, meanest bounty hunter money can hire -- but the biggest, meanest bounty hunter ''her'' money can hire is a small, blue-grey, hamster-like critter called Marion, who has enough attitude for several regular-sized bounty hunters but not a lot to back it up with. He does, however, have two special advantages: he has all kinds of useful stuff stashed in his cheek pouches (now, [[Rummage Fail|if only he could find what he needed when he needed it]]...), and he goes into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] whenever [[Berserk Button|someone calls him "cute"]].
 
Each episode is packed with [[Homage|homages]] and [[Shout -Out|shout outs]] to earlier works of animation, science fiction, and comedy (the episode where [[Applied Phlebotinum]] creates seven Marions -- one happy, one bashful, one grumpy, and so on -- is ''classic'').

None of the unaired episodes have been seen in the UK, and the episodes that have been shown have never been repeated.
