[edit] Plot
The show featured the adventures of a plane crew: Chuck, Sue and Sandy, along with their robot P.O.P.S., who became stranded after the evil Dr. Strange caused their plane to crash-land on his remote island. Dr. Strange hoped to capture P.O.P.S. and use it in his quest for world domination.
[edit] Props
The P.O.P.S. prop or costume was a re-use of the original Robot B-9 from Lost in Space, modified with a bubble on its shoulders, a cylindrical (rather than bubble) head, a blue-and-white paint job, and other minor changes. (P.O.P.S. image.) It has since been restored to its original Robot B-9 appearance.
