Premise

Sam-I-Am rescues a rare Chickeraffe from a zoo, intending to return it to its natural habitat. After accidentally swapping his briefcase containing the Chickeraffe with that of failed inventor Guy-Am-I, Sam and Guy embark on a road trip with E.B., a girl who wants the Chickeraffe as a pet, and her overprotective mother Michellee, who becomes a romantic interest for Guy. They are pursued by the evil poacher Mr. Hervnick Z. Snerz, two agents called the BAD GUYS, and the bounty hunter Goat. In the second season, set a week after the first, Sam, Guy, and E.B. travel to East Flubria to find Sam's biological mother Pam-I-Am, who has stolen the Moo-Lacka-Moo orb and is stopping a war between Yookia and Zookia.
