Premise

The opening sequence explains that siblings Todd (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) and Riley (Grey DeLisle) lived what seem to be their entire lives in an orphanage, with no explanation of what happened to their birth parents. While cleaning the floors, they stumbled across a Fleemco comic book. They mail-ordered a Fleemco phone (which allows them to replace any person or animal they desire) and in the process they got new parents: a female British secret agent named Agent K (Kath Soucie) and a professional daredevil named Dick Daring (Daran Norris).

Whenever Todd and Riley want to replace someone that was very bad, they call Conrad Fleem on the Fleemco phone via a large button. Fleemco immediately replaces the person with someone to the liking of Todd and Riley. The series follows their chaotic misadventures as they use Fleemco to attempt to better their lives in nearly every problematic situation they encounter.
