Inspector Gadget is a media franchise that follows the adventures of a powerful but dimwitted cyborg police inspector named Gadget.
During a daring rescue attempt, John Brown, a naive and clueless security guard, experiences the wrath of the evil Dr. Claw and is left clinging to life. Jumping at the chance to put her robotics expertise to the test, the brilliant Dr. Brenda Bradford transforms him into Inspector Gadget, the ultimate crime-fighting tool. And Gadget is going to need every techno-trick up his cyber-sleeve to defeat the ruthless Claw before he reduces our hero to spare parts and wreaks havoc on the world.
Just when things are quieting down in Riverton, everything goes wrong. Inspector Gadget is put pn probation. Claw stages a daring escape from prison and plots a new "Crime of the Century." And the Mayor unveils a new and improved G2—an all-robot, all-tech, all-female gadget. Could it get any worse for our hero? Mishaps, miscues, stakeouts and showdowns ensue as Inspector Gadget and G2 set off to go-go save the world with a little help from their friends—niece Penny, her dog Brain and the wildly tricked-out Gadgetmobile.
