The Bugaloos and Sparky in Tranquility Forest The Bugaloos are sometimes seen traveling around in their 'Bugaloo Buggy', a colorful dune buggy custom made for the show by car builder George Barris. She frequently makes use of a powerful ultrasonic weapon called the Stereo Zapper, which can render its victim unconscious in seconds. A dreadful singer, Benita is furious at the popularity of the Bugaloos' more melodic, upbeat sound and she plots elaborate, unsuccessful schemes to either destroy or enslave them. Though peace-loving and hippie-like, the Bugaloos are pursued by an ugly, evil, jealous old crone named Benita Bizarre, who lives in a gigantic jukebox and uses it to broadcast her own brand of blaring, obnoxious, unpleasant 'music'. The central characters are a popular band of teenage musicians named the Bugaloos, who wear insect-themed outfits with wings/antennae and can fly using their wings (although they are occasionally shown flying on surfboards). The show takes place in the fantasy setting of Tranquility Forest. The show features a musical group composed of four British teenagers in insect-themed outfits, constantly beset by the evil machinations of the talent-challenged Benita Bizarre, played by comedian Martha Raye.

Reruns of the show aired in daily syndication from 1978 to 1985 as part of the 'Krofft Superstars' package with six other Krofft series.
