Many of the titles of segments were never revealed on air, but the titles were used incomic book issues then recently published at the time of production.
Richie Rich's adventures are sorted into different segments:
Richie Rich Riches – 7 minutes - These segments deal with threats to the Rich family or more specifically Richie.
Richie Rich Treasure Chest – 3 minutes - These segments revolve around Dollar and/or Cadbury.
Richie Rich Gems – 30 seconds - These short segments were based on one-page comic book stories.
Richie Rich Zillion-Dollar Adventures – 11 minutes - These segments deal with Richie Rich and his friends fighting master criminals, aliens, and other threats to the world. While Dr. Blemish appeared in one episode, some episodes have an exclusive villain called the Collector as a recurring enemy.
The animated series took a number of liberties from the original comics:
Richie is depicted as slightly older, inconsistently voiced asa child between 10 and 14, and wears a red sweater with a large "R" on the front as well as long trousers. In the comics, he wears a black suit with a red bow tie and blue short pants.
Gloria is shown as the same age as Richie and wears a white long-sleeved ablouse, pantyhose, purple sweater or sweater vest and purple mini skirt. In the comics, she wore a bow in her hair and wore a white blouse with a short skirt supposedly made of tartan.
Dollar is more anthropomorphized withWalter Mitty-like fantasies. Dollar is similar toScooby-Doo.
Irona the Robot Maid is given a greater presence in the series with additional duties as Richie's personalbodyguard as seen in the "Zillion Dollar Adventures" segments. To fulfill that role, Irona can convert her body into various alternative modes as necessary. For instance, the moment she receives a summons from Richie, she would change her body into a jet plane mode and immediately fly to the boy.
The Haunting of Castle Rich: Richie, Dollar, and Gloria visit Castle Rich where they encounter the ghosts of Richie's descendants who were cursed to haunt their castle by one of the villages when they have been framed for the loss of the bank books by Cyrus Grudge. Now Richie and Gloria must find a way to break the curse by contending with Cyrus Grudge IV and his henchmen.
