Dr. Venture's therapy group, a collection of former Boy Adventurers (who have become failed adults), quickly fall back into their old habits when a mystery is literally dropped into their session.

Production notes
In this spoof of 1960s cartoons such as "Jonny Quest" and boys; adventure novels like the "Tom Swift" and "Hardy Boys" series, the Venture brothers – Hank and Dean – travel around the world with their renowned scientist father, Doctor Venture. Fraternal twins Hank and Dean are total idiots who think, act and talk like they're in the ‘60s, even though they're 21st-century teenagers. Doc Venture, who really can't stand his dimwitted sons, pops "diet pills" like candy. Doc reeks of failure and unrealized potential, but he hopes his new invention will bring him the glory and respect he has long sought. Meanwhile, the family bodyguard, Brock Sampson, is a former secret agent who responds to any and all crises with relentless, remorseless brutality.
