The series involves surreal adventures centered on characters living in a junk-filled alley. The episodes are short, with a duration of about seven minutes, and usually start with Mr. Stain finding an object. The name of the episodes are the same as the items that Stain (or Palvan) finds.[2] There is no dialogue, just music and sound effects. Each episode's ending credits show the characters who appeared along with their names in English, followed by a segment of everyone dancing and having fun.[3]
