The setting is in Nowhere, Kansas, which happens to be a hot bed of paranormal activity. Courage has to save the always gentle Muriel and the frequently mean Eustace from danger even though Courage doesn't enjoy living up to his name. As of October 2009, reruns were available at the cartoonnetwork.com site.
