Synopsis

The Save-Ums, which consist of Jazzi, Noodle, Custard, Ka-Chung, Foo and B.B. Jammies, are a patrol group of six aliens of various appearances, who help various critters when they run into difficulty.
Each episode begins with a call on the "adventure screen" from an inhabitant of the world in which the Save-Ums live. The caller describes the difficulty that needs to be resolved, and then select Save-Ums travel to the scene of the problem. There are three different places that the Save-Ums travel to solve problems: Rock World, an island with a huge mountain; Lava World, a tropical island with a volcano; and Wave World, which is under the ocean.
The Save-Ums then assist in solving the problem. Each episode ends with the problem being solved and the Save-Ums returning to their safety headquarters.

Characters

The Save-Ums

  • Jazzi is a purple passionate girl with red hair tied into two pigtails who dreams to speak the language of wild horses. She is afraid of water and is shown to be the leader in numerous episodes. She is known to say "People, we have a plan!" whenever she, another Save-Um, or a secondary character has an idea.
  • Noodle is a male white pound puppy-like alien who is the most intelligent and mature of the group, often being the voice of reason and helping others to see what is right. He also pilots the subchopper, a helicopter that travels on air or under the sea.
  • Custard is a cool male purple and red cat-eared Save-Um who pilots the Zoomer, a powerboat that travels on either water or snow, and goes on most missions. He is known for saying "Bam!" when he has an idea.
  • Ka-Chung is a male red and white hippopotamus-like alien who is the toughest Save-Um. He is known to shout "Ka-Chung!" as his catchphrase. He strongs the Ka-Drill, a tunnel boring machine.
  • Foo is a female blue and yellow long limbed angelfish-like bird who is the nicest and most sensitive of the Save-Ums. She also goes on most missions. She flies a jet pack.
  • B.B. Jammies is Jazzi's miniature brother, who has a purple diamond-shaped head. He is the smallest and the youngest of the Save-Ums. Since he is too little to go on missions, he mostly plays with the Puffs.
