Its basic premise was that of Sigmund (played by Billy Barty), a friendly (if somewhat cowardly) sea monster who runs away from his comically dysfunctional undersea family, and is discovered and befriended by two boys, Johnny (played by Johnny Whitaker), and Scott (Scott Kolden), who let Sigmund stay in their hideout.

Plotlines were very simple and straightforward, usually some variation on the idea of Sigmund doing something silly to arouse attention and the boys working to prevent him from being found by Sigmund's brothers, Burp and Slurp, or the boys' overbearing Aunt Zelda, played by Mary Wickes.
