In their third madcap adventure, Gizmo the "Evil Genius" guinea pig and his oblivious cape-wearing nemesis, corgi Wedgie, go on a family camping trip that has their youngest human, Jackson, feeling left out. All the series' hallmarks are present--alternating pet narrators, humorous spot illustrations, one of Gizmo's evil plans gone wrong--but it's the distinct, funny voices of Wedgie and Gizmo that are the selling point of this zany series.
