This series recounts the adventures of C-3P0 and R2-D2 before they they met Luke Skywalker as they serve various masters over the years. As it turns out, their lives were no less hectic as they became involved in battles versus gangsters, pirates, the Empire and even Boba Fett on one occasion.
In this series C-3PO is the worrywart droid that we all know and love. During the series of three cycles 3PO has three masters or groups of masters as the case may be. He frequently ends up in a mess with the rest of the group laughing.

R2 in this series seems to have more gadgets in him than possible including grappling hooks, parachutes, his own little lightsaber, and just about anything else they could possibly need. R2's always there to help out. At one point R2 and 3PO are in an oil bath and when a toy animal pops up 3PO tells R2 never to bring his toys into the bath unless he can share in which up comes another toy animal to everyone's amusement. R2 is even temporarily shrunk in the last episode allowing him to slip past the enemy's guards.

Steppin' softly in a danger zone
No weapon in my hand
It's just this brain, designed by man
It's got me in trouble again
In trouble again
I put my life in jeopardy
In the service of my friends
I wouldn't care but it's a dangerous affair
'Cause I’m in trouble again, trouble again
In trouble, in trouble, in trouble
