Inch High, Private Eye
Inch High is a private detective who is only one inch tall. He was once a normal man who attained his diminutive stature by way of a secret shrinking potion. He retains his intelligence and pragmatism, but he is physically unable to complete various tasks. So he regularly recruits his bright niece Lori and her simpleton boyfriend Gator to join him for missions. Gator is a tough muscleman, with some skills at elaborate disguises. Their pet dog "Braveheart" is brought along for missions, though he is easily scared and not particularly useful. The group drives the Hushmobile, a streamlined car that makes virtually no noise while being driven. They rely on its stealth for surveillance operations. The main detective is openly despised by his supervisor Mr. Finkerton, but the guy apparently does not have the authority to fire him.
