The five talented principles (referred to collectively as the Jumpitz) plus a character-suit dog and cat ("McSniffley" and "Katmandu") inhabit a colorful set somewhere in Jumptizville. The Jumpitz can not only act and sing, but they're hoofers as well. This is important because each episode features original songs and choreography.

In the first 30-minute episode, "McSniffley's Birthday Celebration," The Jumpitz decide to have a surprise party for the dog. While trying to determine what decorations to use for a theme, they manage to get in both Irish step dancing and a Mexican hat dance production number. The second episode, "Animal Adventures", charges the Jumpitz with caring for a box of turtles. In an effort to find out the best way to care for them, they visit the library but become distracted by all the good books and forget their mission. They have a turtle race (which features the funniest song of all, in my opinion) then finally go to the zoo to learn more. There they make the startling discovery that they don't have turtles, but rather, tortoises! (Good thing they checked their feet before dumping them in a pool.) With good messages abounding in music ("The World In Books," "Pets Depend on You,") and in narrative, this is sweet and engaging with polished production values.
