Short-lived series (pardon the pun) about a little person with really big ideas. Simon McKay (played by 3'11''" David Rappaport) is a genius inventor who eschews violence. His rare mind (and apparent weakness) makes him a target for a wide range of not-so-nice interests, so the government assigns agent Alex Jagger to be his bodyguard.
 
Together with Simon's housekeeper Tilly, Simon and Alex get in scrape after scrape, to be rescued with Simon's bizarre and improbable devices and potions.
