The plot tells of the unbridled adventures of a brilliant scientist suffering from alcohol addiction Rick Sanchez and his naive, but sometimes bold 14-year-old grandson Morty Smith. After the old man moved to live with Bet and Jerry, his daughter and son-in-law, he arranged a whole research laboratory in the garage of the house, where he regularly conducts dangerous experiments, wanting to learn all the secrets of the universe. Thanks to a portal gun of his own manufacture, he freely moves between dimensions, where he made a lot of enemies. Only the support of Morty and his older sister, Summer, help Rick steadily get out of the water.
