The show focused on the eponymous organisation which fought various forms of tyranny from adults against children, ranging from villains embodying common grievances such as Homework to various plots to rid the world of the KND or children all together. the technology thye used is built from wood and scraps being only kept together by unknown superscience. Various aspects of childhood are taken very seriously and there are parodies of media ranging from Indiana Jones to Dragon Ball Z.
