Within the series, set during the Prohibition-era of the United States, Isaac and Miria "are a pair of idiotic lovers and thieves" who are portrayed as "always enthusiastic and optimistic". They are often mistaken for performers because of the variety of disguises they employ during their heists, such as dressing up as mummies or as the Tramp. Miria exhibits a complete trust in Isaac and supports anything he says no matter how ridiculous it is and often goes as far to mimic his body language and his speech, although she often does not really know what she is saying. Although the pair are very idiotic, Isaac is not completely stupid and there are occasions that shows that he displays his inner intelligence. He is able to recognize a pair of plainclothes officers because he claims that he is familiar with their speech style. |
