The cartoon is set in a universe inhabited solely by anthropomorphic
animals of many species and focuses on a trio of campers attending a
poorly-run
summer camp known as Camp Kidney; Lazlo the eccentric, optimistic monkey, Raj the timid Indian elephant, and Clam, the quiet
albino
pygmy rhinoceros, and their multiple surreal misadventures. Other
characters include the selfish, ill-tempered moose Scoutmaster Lumpus
and his mild-mannered assistant Slinkman the
banana slug,
the boys' assortment of fellow campers including the disgruntled, surly
platypus Edward and the klutzy, accident-prone, geeky Guinea pig
Samson. The program also features a rival summer camp attended solely by
girls, primarily focusing on Lazlo, Raj, and Clam's respective female
counterparts attending that camp; Patsy the adventurous mongoose who has
a crush on Lazlo, Gretchen the short-tempered alligator, and Nina the
wise
giraffe,
along with the object of Scoutmaster Lumpus's affections, Miss Doe, the
head of the all-girl camp, Acorn Flats. Some episodes may involve the
Bean Scouts' attempts at unveiling the truth behind camp legends or
clowning around, infuriating their peers or placing themselves in a
variety of odd situations commonly based around traditional or
fictionalized, bizarre camp activities.
