Mort and Phil are a pair of idiots, and no matter what kind of mission they are assigned they always manage to get it wrong. The results are almost invariably extremely violent, and most often directed towards Phil. At the T.I.A. (Spanish for "aunt", a parody of the CIA), which combats "enemy organisations" like R.A.N.A. ("frog") or A.B.U.E.L.A. ("grandmother"), they interact with their boss, the bad-tempered "Superintendente Vicente"; with "Professor Bacterio", a black-bearded, disastrous scientist parodying James Bond's Q; and with the fat, blonde secretary "Ofelia", a parody of Moneypenny, whose attempts at seducing Mort or Phil always fail.
