They are police who defeat crime from within the criminal world — always without a badge and frequently without protection.

A mixture of live-action, puppetry, animation, and documentary, Lift Off centred on a group of children who lived in the same neighbourhood and whose imaginations made their environment a world of fun and excitement.
