By day Johnny Joe is a lower middle-class white-collar worker, confusing vintage and modern technologies. By night he is a local-star who mimics pop-icons with beat poetry at a swanky open-mic. Having just paid a fortune for a necklace for the love of his life, Poor Johnny Joe loses it and embarks on a wild chase to get it back, making friends and dodging villains along the way. Always getting the short end of the stick, he continually overcomes adversity by using optimism and romance, while learning the art of practicality over the course of the episodes.
