SYNOPSIS: Totally Spies! is a fast-paced comedy and high-energy
action series starring three Beverly Hills teen girls who unwittingly become
secret agents.

The three
girlfriends "with an attitude" have to cope with their daily lives as
well as the unpredictable pressures of international espionage. Whether the
girls are laying low on a secret island off the coast of Japan, on hands and
knees deep within the sewers of Paris or crouched in the baggage hold of a
private jet over the Bermudas, they confront the most intimidating—and
demented—of villains, each with their own special agenda for demonic,
global, rude behavior. The three friends each use their specific talents to
help save the world while stressing about next week’s algebra final or finding
a decent prom dress on time.

As the new
season begins, Clover, Sam and Alex are graduating and planning to attend
Malibu University—“Malib-U” for short—where WOOHP has built them a
special high-security penthouse dorm.
