Summaries

Hero for hire, Walter Melon, is the one to call when heroes from movies, TV, literature or mythology need someone to replace them in their stories. Likewise, Melon's archenemy, Sneero, gets to play most of the villains.

Enthusiastic average joe, Walter Melon, and his geeky best friend, Bitterbug, work as "heroes for hire" standing-in for various famous heroes from fiction when they have accidents or are unable to save the day for some other reason the show's arch-villain is usually responsible for. Loosely based on the French comic strip "Achille Talon."—Hailey-7
