HARRY HARE - BEST IN THE BIZ



SYNOPSIS:

Harry Hare was one of Hollywood’s best-loved TV ‘toon stars. He had it all: a push mansion in Beverly Hills, a top-rated Saturday morning series, and legions of adoring fans. That was, until his studio suffers from serious competition, a grueling recession and massive budget cuts. It was so bad that the studio’s CEO booted out Harry and his on-screen comedy partner Matt Mallard to make room for an animated action show to replace Harry’s timeslot.

Out of work and now without a home, Harry and Matt look for several jobs to earn a living. When Harry saw reruns from an old detective show, he decided to use what’s left for his bank account to start a private detective/bodyguard agency. With Matt tagging along for the ride, and with later help from Megumi, a cute 15-year old junior high school student from Japan who moonlights as a magical girl superhero, and Roy, an ex-undercover agent with a dark past, Harry scourers around L.A. solving crimes and guarding celebrities. And along the way he encounters some strange and very weird characters

From ‘toon mobsters to super-villains bent on world domination to guys with girl trouble, anvils fall and bullets fly as this unlikely and unorthodox foursome goes on cases no cop can solve and adventures no big-time cartoon show can handle.

But she doesn’t want to return to another lousy desk job again. So they discharged her to civilian life. Enraged, Yoko moved to Los Angeles in search for something that calls for her unique skills.

Yoko is furious working with Will, especially his romantic, somewhat perverted attitude towards her, ended Will getting the business end of Yoko’s “Pervert Punch”. They end up guarding high-paying clients and getting involving with a lot of criminals along the way. But in the shadows, Yoko’s sexist former commander is waiting, for what purpose, she don’t know. Yoko is a tomboy with a tough exterior and angry comment toward sexist males. She sometimes has a violent temper and knocks perverts and peeping toms into the stratosphere with her fist. But underneath her tough skin lies a sweet and compassionate soul with a sense of honor and justice. She can’t stand her partner’s carefree attitude and reminds him, tough physical abuse, that he should be more responsible to the job at hand rather than being lazy. Yoko rather prefers wearing pants rather than skirts, especially after her first days as a bodyguard. Yoko’s favorite hobby is collective knives. Her favorite food is broiled fish.

She is a highly trained swimmer, diver, gymnast and athlete. She can hold her breath underwater for seven minutes. She has gifted detective skills.
