The series starred Milton, a Frankenstein-looking monster created by one Professor Weirdo. Milton was a smiling, good-natured fellow, thanks to the Professor using too much "tincture of tenderness". Milton's voice, which owed much to Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle character, was provided by Bob McFadden. The Professor was assisted by Count Kook, and Heebie and Jeebie. (Their voices were provided, respectively, by Dayton Allen and Larry Best.)

Other features on the show included "Fearless Fly", starring an insect superhero who fought against Dr. Goo Fee and other mad scientists; "Flukey Luke", with a cowboy detective and his Irish-accented Native American companion Two Feathers; "Stuffy Durma", starring a nouveau-riche hobo who resisted the attempts of valet Bradley Brinkley to get some culture and breeding; "Muggy-Doo", featuring a girl-crazy; and "Penny Penguin", starring a bratty aquatic bird.

On March 20th, 2007 Shout! Factory released the complete series on a 4- DVD set.
