The series follows the "humble and loveable" Shoeshine Boy, who must transform into his heroic alter-ego Underdog when his love interest, Sweet Polly Purebred, is threatened by villainous characters.  Underdog spoke mainly in rhyming couplets, with "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!" being his most well known catchphrase.
