Description:  Inch High, Private Eye is a 1973 Hanna-Barbera cartoon about a one-inch tall detective who, despite his size, solves mysteries with his niece Lori, her friend Gator, and his dog Braveheart. The team, who uses a silent vehicle called the Hushmobile, works for the Finkerton Detective Agency, where Inch often annoys his boss, Mr. Finkerton, but always manages to crack the case, sometimes accidentally. The show was inspired by the spy comedy Get Smart.

Main Character: Inch High is a miniature private investigator who can fit inside a matchbox or be worn as an earring. He's modeled after Maxwell Smart from Get Smart.

Supporting Characters:

Lori: Inch's niece who helps him on cases.

Gator: Lori's muscle-bound, somewhat clumsy friend who is a master of disguise.

Braveheart: Inch's loyal St. Bernard dog.

The Agency: Inch works for the Finkerton Detective Agency, a parody of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. His boss, Mr. Finkerton, is constantly exasperated with him but can't get rid of him.

Transportation: The group travels in the "Hushmobile," a futuristic, nearly silent car.

Series Premise: Despite his small stature and a brain that "does things the hard way," Inch is a determined detective who stumbles through cases. While his boss often ends up in the middle of the action and gets mistaken for a criminal, Inch and his friends always manage to solve the crime and catch the culprits.
