The Save-Ums are a group of six anthropomorphic characters of various designs, who help various creatures when they run into difficulty. A typical episode begins with a call on the "adventure screen" (essentially a videophone) from an inhabitant of the world in which the Save-Ums live. The caller describes the difficulty that needs to be solved, and then selected Save-Ums travel to the scene of the problem. If you have Discovery Streaming in your district, the Save-ums episodes may be included in your subscription! The Save-Ums then assist in solving the problem. Each episode ends with the problem being solved and the Save-Ums returning to their headquarters ("Save-Um Central").
