Aku and Judge Doom are gone, yes, but that doesn't mean there'll be no more evil. And with Black Hat out of the way at the moment and his organization in chaos, a former-associate of Mr. Hat takes his cue to try his hand at being the new diabolical mastermind. A mastermind known only as Dr. Claw! Whilst chasing after him, a clueless police inspector named Augustin Tamare is mortally wounded in the line of duty. To save his life, he receives a cyborg body equipped with countless gadgets for any need (no matter how mundane or unusual). With the help of his niece Penny and their dog Brain, Tamare, now known as "Inspector Gadget", goes after Dr. Claw and his terrorist organization, the Malevolent Agency of Destruction (M.A.D). Gadget is worried that his cluelessness may get in the way of his crimefighting duties, so now it's up to Penny and Brain to help him every step of the way.
