Jonathan Chase is a British college professor at New York University who has the unusual ability to transform into any kind of animal he wants. He decides to use his power to assist the New York Police Department in solving unusual crimes, and in this series pilot, he teams up with cute cop Brooke and war buddy Ty to stop some terrorists from stealing a supply of toxic gas.

Factual errors: Whenever Jonathan turned into a bird his hands became talons. His feet should have turned into talons and his hands and arms to wings.
