Premise
The show centers on four animal friends stationed at a post office in the fictional town of Pikwik. Whenever a neighbor of theirs needs something, a package appears in the office which they must deliver. The package comes with a tag containing information indicated by three colored diamond-shaped marks: red (recipient), yellow (location), and green (time by which the package must be delivered, or how it should be handled). When the recipient collects the package, he/she can open it by simply pulling the tag.
