Crimes are being committed within fairy tales. And this means that the fairy tales in our world are losing their happy (or unhappy) endings. Two police officers (no-nonsense Christine Anderson and bumbling Johnny Legend) are sent inside fairy tales to establish the Fairy Tale Police Department and restore the happy endings.

Australian Screen says of Fairy Tale Police Department, 'Despite the title, which suggests a sweet little cartoon, this is a robust and very original series and loads of fun for all ages. Fairytale Police Department is a zany cross between Twisted Tales and the X Files for kids. Female detective Chris Anderson, like X Files cop Dana Scully ..., is strong, capable and ambitious, while her bumbling, vain metrosexual partner Johnny Legend is always getting into in trouble. Other characters are also terrific with strong characterisations and great scripts.'

'When their beloved duck Hildegarde is 'abduckted' by bird smugglers it is up to Christopher, Isabel and Jeremy to save the day. All clues lead to the shifty Wolf and Tony, operators of 'Wolf’s Wildlife Wonders', a travelling nature sideshow that acts as cover for their illegal bird-napping activities. Now the kids are hitting the road, out for a duck and up for adventure as they pursue Wolf, Tony and Hildegarde.'
