Production notes
This series is about a millionaire named Brandon Brewster and his dog, Yukk. Before they go off to fight crime, Yukk zaps Brandon with a transformation ray, turning him into a miniature superhero named Mighty Man (not to be confused with Mighty Mouse). Now Yukk is really very ugly. Too ugly for even the viewers to see. So ugly, in fact, that he has to wear a little doghouse on his head at all times, because whenever his doghouse gets lifted off and his face is exposed, bad things happen, although it does come in handy sometimes.
