Synopsis:

The Doug Anthony All-stars (DAAS) escape into the void. Alien assassins and psychos attack. DAAS Kapital features Original Songs and Bizarre Comedy. After a long legal battle, the series that rocked Japan is out! DAAS are Paul McDermott, Richard Fidler and Tim Ferguson - Australia's most outrageous comedy export. See their pals Flacco, Bob Downe and American Bob. War! Aliens! Sex! Comedy!

It is the end of history. Shitsu Tonka, the giant conglomerate of universal power, has placed the world's art treasures in a giant submarine, the Titanic II. Assigned to protect and catalogue these treasures are former comedians, the Doug Anthony Allstars; Tim, Paul and Richard, who find themselves drawn into conflict with each other and the malevolent forces which surround them.

DAAS Kapital was a sitcom that incorporated sketch show and variety show TV formats. For example, in each scripted episode, there would be cutaways to television shows and commercials-typically Shitsu Tonka News, Troy The Invincible and Wayne Kerr-along with guest appearances by Paul Livingston, Bob, Bob Downe and stop motion animation sequences, along with original songs performed by The Doug Anthony Allstars. Ferguson described the show as "a cross between Land of Giants, Marine Boy and Jacques Cousteau on speed." Each episode's plot usually consisted of a very simple idea, such as a bug infestation on board or a Cinderella-style story mixed with all the above segments strung together with very quick jokes, narrative humour and stories told by the Allstars.
