Cleopatra Corns, or Cleo to her friends and associates, is the principle protagonist of the show. The chief executive officer of the Corns Conglomerate, Cleo would rather be jetting off to some fantastic vacation stop than worry about the bills like her friend Suen would rather have her do. However, Cleo is also a woman of convictions that would never stand still whenever trouble occurs somewhere in the world, which often happens at a very regular pace. And some of these incidents range from an oil well fire caused by terrorists to having to confront a telepathic girl who could cause worldwide Armageddon.
