Totally Spies stars three teen aged superspies from Beverly Hills, California: Sam, Alex and Clover. They secretly fight international crime with special gadgets supplied by their boss, Jerry, who is the founder and leader of the secret World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP) agency. They must balance their missions with their day-to-day lives, maintaining their secret identities, high school (seasons 1-4), college (season 5), boys and their school rival: a prima donna named Mandy. And there is going to be a new Character in the Movie named Kimberly who is a famous fashion icon, and Clover must deal with the fact that her new friend Kimberly is in Love with Cody Clover's new crush.
Thematically, it is reminiscent of the 1970s TV show Charlie's Angels, with Jerry serving as a kind of amalgamation of "Bosley" and "Charlie." Unlike Charlie, however, Jerry is not afraid to reveal himself to his agents. The spies are usually transported to his office via a secret tunnel, hole etc., which is a phenomenon known amongst the spies as "WOOHPing". In Jerry's office, the spies are briefed on their missions and occasionally are informed on relatively minor personal issues. The show displays a sexual aesthetic look that pays homage to 60s design fashion, such as "flower power", and as well as the 1980s anime series Dirty Pair. For example, the suits and jetpacks used by the Dirty Pair in episode 8 of the original television series resemble the spies' catsuits and jetpacks. Sam, Alex and Clover also change their clothes, unlike most cartoon characters who have one basic outfit.
