Ihr Chef Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) ist ein alter Hase im Lebensrettungsgeschäft und scheinbar jeder brenzligen Situation gewachsen, die an so einem gut gefüllten Strand passieren kann. Zusammen mit seinem Team aus kernigen Bademeistern und bildschönen Rettungsnixen, allen voran Playmate Pamela Anderson, die in ihrer Rolle der C.J. Parker ab der dritten Staffel der Männerwelt einheizt, rettet Mitch übermütigen Schwimmern das Leben, bekämpft Haie, beseitigt Erdbebenschäden, geht auf Ganovenjagd und bewältigt nebenbei noch große und kleine Beziehungsprobleme.
Während die Damen in den markanten roten Badeanzügen von Staffel zu Staffel immer mal wieder ausgetauscht werden, ist Buchannon der einzige, der in jeder der elf Staffeln zu sehen ist.
