Penrod "Penry" Pooch is the Janitor of the local Police Station and is always cleaning something. Poor Penry can't seem to do anything right and is always upsetting Sergeant Flint.

This is normally because Penry is very accident prone and the Sarge is normally on the receiving end concerning the accident.

He loves to talk to himself (or does he know that we are watching?) and announces to Spot what he is going to do next.

He is friends with Rosemary, who he sometimes calls her his 'lovable lady fuzz'.

When the call comes into the station that there is a criminal on the loose or a crime has happened, Penry suddenly disappears from the police station and no one knows where to?

If you didn't know, Penry is in fact the alter ego of Hong Kong Phooey, who transforms into the superhero via a quick change in a filing cabinet.

The inept crime fighter Hong Kong Phooey is the number one crime fighter, who uses his Kung Foo skills to catch crooks (mostly by accident).

When things are getting bad, he consults the Hong Kong Book of Kung Foo for his latest Kung Foo moves to dispatch his enemies (how does he get the book to stay in his sleeve?).

But when he tries out the move it nearly always goes wrong and Spot has to help him out. It seems as if he isn't the martial arts master that most people think he is, and instead he is learning it as he goes along.

Hong Kong Phooey has a massive ego and if he was told that Spot was helping him catch the crooks, then he wouldn't believe them. He is that certain that his Kung Foo skills and his mental powers are unrivalled that he has no fear going into a dangerous situation.

He has to be careful not to be mobbed when he is out in public as he has thousands of admirers, especially the girls that love to hug and kiss him (its a hard life!). He seems to love to give his autograph out to everyone, even if they don't really want it (normally its to crooks that are in disguise).

He drives one of the coolest vehicles ever - the Phooey Mobile, which makes a great sound when its been driven along.  It can convert to loads of different vehicles when he bangs his gong, such as the Phooey Copter.

He is also someone who respects safety, as he always puts his seat belt on. What I'd like to know is, how does a low paid dog afford such a fantastic vehicle?

Sometimes he dresses up in disguises to catch the crooks, but it is easy to spot which one is Hong Kong Phooey, as its the only disguise that has a black mask on it. Still, the crooks never seem to notice this fact.

Spot is the Police Station's cat. It is ironic that the cat that is covered in stripes is called Spot. He cannot believe how inept Penry / Hong Hong Kong Phooey is and is always yawning when he starts talking rubbish on how he will catch the criminal.

In fact it is Spot who is the real Super Hero, as he tags along with Hong Kong Phooey and is the one that helps to catch the crooks by pointing him in the right direction.

This cat doesn't speak, but can get the attention of Hong Kong Phooey by whistling. He has a knack of getting Hong Kong Phooey out of the filing cabinet when the drawer gets stuck (he bangs on it).

Rosemary is the police telephone operator.  She always answers the phone by saying 'Hello, Hello, Police Headquarters' and infuriates Sarge when she keeps saying 'You Don't Say' on the phone and his curiosity gets the better of him.

She is friends with Penry and has some of the best legs I've seen (in a cartoon - of course). She has a massive crush on Hong Kong Phooey and if she knew that Penry was the same person, then she would never let him go.

He loves to give Penry the dirty jobs to do, but Penry messes most things up, so its Sarge that ends up in a mess! He is always calling Penry a nincompoop.

He has a strange habit of going 'ooh ooh' before saying things and tries to get everyone into shape via his Physical Fitness Programme, which is surprising as I think he needs the work out.

'Hot Rod' is the brains of the gang, while 'Crank Case' is the muscle and 'Mousey' is the person that resprays the cars.

Hot Rod dressed as a little old lady so not to be detected when stealing cars. Even Hong Kong Phooey helped fix his/her car when he thought she'd broken down.

To try to catch them, Hong Kong Phooey disguised himself as a Kangeroo. He soon found out that they weren't easy pickings as they knew Kung Foo too.

The cats seem to love her, but she doesn't like cats. In fact she isn't a Grandma at all and is a man dressed up. So what does he do with the cats? He shampoos them, blow dries them and gives them phoney pedigree papers and sells them as expensive pedigree cats.

So they embark on a crime spree to steal the whole of the cities candles. But as usual, the boss has the idea, but the brawn (Lefty) has to carry out the plan, and in this instance he bounces around on a pogo stick swiping them all.
