Sigmund did for sea monsters what Casper did for ghosts. He was loveable and affectionate, and for that, Sigmund's family insisted he leave their cave and not return until he had scared some humans. Wandering the beaches alone, Sigmund was found by brothers Johnny and Scott Stuart while they were out surfing. They took him back home to live in their clubhouse and became fast friends.
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters is a family television show which follows Sigmund, a sea monster who makes new friends in two children Johnny and Scott. Sigmund is unusual from most sea monsters in that he does not enjoy scaring people and his family feels embarrassed because of him in the sea monster community. To avoid pressure from his family and to avoid having to scare people, he decides to run away from his home and family at Dead Man's Point and after swimming through the ocean for a long time, eventually arrives at a beach. The same day that Sigmund landed on the beach, two boys named Johnny and Scott while walking along the shore stumble upon a clump of seaweed that appeared to be moving. The seaweed they found was actually Sigmund, and they become immediate friends. The boys bring him to their home to help protect him from his sea monster family who is constantly trying to take him back to his home in the sea. They also are having to keep his existence a secret from the human world, especially from the housekeeper Zelda who watches the boys while their parents are gone. Billy Barty, who was only three feet nine inches tall, wore a suit to play the main character Sigmund. The two boys that became his friends Johnny and Scott were played by Johnny Whitaker and Scott Stuart and Zelda the housekeeper was played by Mary Wickes. Sigmund and the Sea Monsters first debuted in 1973 and along with Sigmund his family also included his older brothers Blurp and Slurp. In each episode Blurp and Slurp try to take Sigmund back home by force but he is always able to escape from their plans with the help of his friends. Later in the show a sea genie named Sheldon was introduced, played by Rip Taylor. Sheldon always means well, but his spells that he tries to cast rarely work and usually cause more trouble for Sigmund and the boys. Sheldon also has a young nephew named Shelby, played by Sparky Marcus, who also tries to help them in their adventures.
