For his tenth birthday, Joe receives a mysterious blue book from his magician uncle and namesake, "Joe the Magnificent," known only as "The Book". Using a number of often unpredictable and/or unintentional voice and print cues, The Book frequently transports Joe and his friends, Fred and Sam, to a variety of places in history, like Ancient Egypt, the Old West and to the year 2105, where they meet their own great-granddaughters, Jodie, Samantha and Freddi. The only way they are able to return present-day Brooklyn, New York is to find The Book again within whatever time period they are in. Later in the series, Joe's evil uncle, Mad Jack, makes several attempts to capture the children and The Book with his crafty tricks, whether stranding them in Antarctica (where The Book doesn't work) or trying to make their new home in China (during the Tang Dynasty).

Television series in which the Canadian comedian John Candy voices an animated version of him. The fictionalized version of Candy is operating a financially-struggling summer camp, and he has to put some effort to resolve its problems. Candy is depicted as level-headed and witty, but unusually clumsy. His frequent injuries are one of the series' running gags. Candy's right-hand-woman and love interest is Nurse Molly Lange. She is good at her job and eager to treat any medical problem. She fancies herself to be an innovative cook, but anything she creates is inedible. The series' main villain is the property developer Rex DeForest, Jr. Years ago, he made a deal which allowed the summer camp to be built on his land. Now he wants to regain control of the land, and he keeps trying to sabotage the camp. Rex employs the henchman Chester, a 1950s-style greaser, to advance his plans. Chester is actually less malicious than his boss, and neither competent nor enthusiastic about his assigned duties.
