Tennessee Tuxedo, a [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin]], and his walrus friend, Chumley, sought to improve their lives in the zoo. Despite gaining helpful information from their friend Phineas J. Whoopee, Tennessee and Chumley [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption still ran afoul]] of zookeeper Stanley Livingston.
Supporting segments included ''The Hunter'' and ''Tooter Turtle'', both repeated from ''KingLeonardoAndHisShortSubjects'', as well as ''The World of Commander [=McBragg=]''. The series' voice talent included Don Adams as Tennessee Tuxedo, Bradley Bolke as Chumley and Larry Storch as Mr. Whoopee.
