Plot.

Hijitus is a street child who lives in a sanitary pipe in the city of Trulalá (the "cannitus"). His friends are Pichichus (his dog) and Oaky (the pampered son of the richest and most powerful man in the city, Gold Silver). Trulalá is devastated by the evil professor Neurous, against whom the law, embodied by the "Council of Elders" and the figure of the local commissioner, is manifestly impotent. Hijitus' "amiguitus" group is also composed of Larguirucho, a naughty and naive young man who shares his time between participating in the evil plans of Neurous, playing with Oaky and asking Hijitus for help, without realizing good and evil. To fight against evil and especially defend his friends, Hijitus becomes Super Hijitus, an indestructible superhero with incredible abilities, thanks to the power conferred by his "Magic Sombreritus" Professor Neuros' dream is to take advantage of the wonderful hat and, through this, control Trulala, and Hijitus will always be willing to avoid it. Written by Julian agustin of Stephan.
