In a universe where humans and anthropomorphic animals coexist, the series centers on Eric [[James T. Kirk|Tiberius]] Duckman (voiced by [[Jason Alexander]]),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zupan |first=Michael |date=September 22, 2008 |title=Duckman - Seasons One & Two |url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/34784/duckman-seasons-one-two/ |access-date=August 22, 2010 |website=[[DVD Talk]] |archive-date=August 20, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100820131327/http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/34784/duckman-seasons-one-two/ |url-status=live }}</ref> a widowed, lewd, self-hating, egocentric [[anthropomorphic]] duck who lives with his family in [[Los Angeles]] (as mentioned in the episode "Bev Takes a Holiday") and works as a private detective. The tagline of the show, seen in the opening credits, is "Private Dick/Family Man".

Main characters include Cornfed (voiced by [[Gregg Berger]]), a pig who is Duckman's [[Joe Friday]]–esque business partner and best friend; Ajax (voiced by [[Dweezil Zappa]]), Duckman's eldest, slow-witted teenage son; Charles (voiced by [[Dana Hill]] and later [[Pat Musick]]) and Mambo (voiced by [[E. G. Daily]]), Duckman's genius [[conjoined twins]] whose heads share a body; Bernice (voiced by [[Nancy Travis]]), the identical twin of Duckman's presumed-dead wife Beatrice, a fanatical fitness buff who hates Duckman with a passion; and Grandma-ma (voiced by Travis), Duckman's comatose, immensely flatulent mother-in-law.

Recurring characters include Agnes Delrooney (voiced by [[Brian Doyle-Murray]]), Grandma-ma's [[doppelgänger]] who kidnaps her and poses as her until near the end of the final season; Fluffy and Uranus (voiced by Musick), Duckman's two obsessively [[politically correct]] [[Care Bears|Care Bear]]–esque pink and blue [[teddy bear]] office assistants; George Herbert Walker "King" Chicken (voiced by [[Tim Curry]]), a supervillain who schemes to ruin Duckman's life as retribution for ruining his high school tenure; Beverly (voiced by Travis), Beatrice and Bernice's long-lost sister; and Gecko, Duckman's pet dog (which he had stolen and renamed).

In the final episode, four couples (Dr. Stein/Dana Reynard, Duckman/Honey, King Chicken/Bernice, Cornfed/Beverly) get married – the last three in a joint ceremony. The kids, Fluffy and Uranus, and a number of characters from previous episodes are in attendance. As the ceremonies draw to a close, Beatrice (Duckman's supposedly deceased wife) appears and shocks the entire crowd. When Duckman asks how she can still be alive, Beatrice indicates Cornfed always knew. Cornfed says, "I can explain." The show then ends with "To be continued...?" superimposed on the screen. In regards to this [[cliffhanger]], ''Duckman'' writer Michael Markowitz offered the following shortly after the series came to an end: "We never formally planned Part II... and I'll never tell what I personally had in mind. I'm hoping to leave it to my heirs, for the inevitable day when Duckman is revived by future generations."<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 21, 1998 |title=To Be DIScontinued! - The Hall of Unresolved TV Cliffhangers: 1996-2000 |url=http://members.tripod.com/rover_wow/clif9600.htm |access-date=2015-03-07 |publisher=Members.tripod.com |archive-date=March 23, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090323093115/http://members.tripod.com/rover_wow/clif9600.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> On August 13, 2015, Markowitz posted on his Twitter page in response to a question from a fan about the cliffhanger, "Was then (& now) an #XFiles fan (bride in ep was Dana Reynard, a Mulder-Scully hint) so involved gov't coverup of aliens".<ref>{{Cite tweet |number=631917449089146880 |user=markowitz |title=@Kennnnnny ...Was then ( & now) #XFiles fan (bride in ep was Dana Reynard, a Mulder-Scully hint) so involved gov't coverup of aliens |date=August 13, 2015}}</ref>
