Plot

Similar in format to Hanna-Barbera’s Scooby-Doo, the show centered around a group of four teenage detectives, the Clue Club — Larry, Pepper, D.D. and Dotty — who solved mysteries with the help of two talking bloodhounds named Woofer and Wimper. Dotty, the youngest, usually stayed at home and helped solve cases by providing information and results from her minicomputer. Clue Club mysteries usually involved crimes such as a movie director vanishing or a two-ton statue disappearing into thin air. Scooby-doo is also British naval divers slang for civilian sport scuba diver.

Minicomputer (colloquially, mini) is a largely obsolete term for a class of multi-user computers which make up the middle range of the computing spectrum, in between the largest multi-user systems (traditionally, mainframe computers) and the smallest single-user systems (microcomputers or personal computers). ...

Much of the comedy would come from Woofer, who would constantly accuse suspects without good reason, then later back-track while proclaiming his genius; and Wimper, a much simpler, easy-going, and less-intelligent dog, who would gently go along with his comrade’s schemes. Unlike Scooby-Doo, the dogs are only able to talk to each other and not to humans. Scooby-Doo Scoobert Scooby-Doo is a fictional dog and the eponymous character of the popular television series Scooby-Doo. ...
