It features the eponymous Danger Mouse, an English mouse who works as a secret agent. The show is a loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan.

This becomes less consistent as the series goes on, as many later episodes show the characters as being human size. There are also times when the cast attempts to deliberately interact with humans (such as Count Duckula controlling the minds of human Members of Parliament, as well as the episode "Trip to America," where Danger Mouse and Penfold are seen to interact with a Texan).Because a ten-minute episode needed 2,000 drawings, the cartoons made frequent use of repeated footage and "in the dark" sequences (black with eyeballs visible only, or, in Danger Mouse's case, simply one eyeball) as a cost-cutting measure. A recurring setting for episodes was "The North Pole" - so chosen because the white, snow-covered backgrounds w
