It's up to Muzzy and Bob to escape from prison and clean up the mess. The main plot is interrupted through and through by short segments featuring a human called Norman. These segments are usually for explaining or showing other examples of the language and grammar used in the scene they follow. Three years later, a sequel called Muzzy Comes Back was released. The film's plot focused on Corvax and his bumbling sidekick, Thimbo, kidnapping Bob and Sylvia's daughter Amanda. Since the main purpose of the movies is language education for beginners in an entertaining way, they have very simple grammar. Spanish, German, French and Italian versions are also available. Both films were released on TV in series format as well, split up to 20 episodes.
