The show investigates and exposes cases of abuse, dishonesty, exploitation, and family disputes (Sumbong at Aksyon), as well as recognizes ordinary people who return items of value that they find in their course of work (Solian ng Bayan). The show regularly emphasizes Tulfo's no-nonsense approach and interrogation, sometimes laced with profanity.
The most common feature of the show is Sumbong at Aksyon, where complainants tell Tulfo about their situation and seek assistance to resolve it. Tulfo puts the other party on the air to get their side of the story and encourages both parties to talk to each other on the air. Tulfo may occasionally conclude that the complainant is the one who committed something wrong and, as such, may refuse further assistance; in rare cases, Tulfo himself may even take action against the complainant (e.g. refer him/her to the police and file charges) if warranted. After hearing both sides of the story, Tulfo may contact someone in a position (e.g. high-ranking police officials, social workers) to further assist the aggrieved party. An average of four sets of complainants are featured during the show. If a complainant's conversation with the other party is quite lengthy and time is about to run out, they may be asked to continue it off-air.
The final show of each month begins with an awarding ceremony featuring people who returned items to their owners in the Solian ng Bayan segments aired throughout the month. The awardees receive a medal, plaque, cash reward, and items from the sponsors; these are in addition to the cash reward and items received during the Solian ng Bayan segment in which they appeared.

Internet and Social Media
In July 2016, Wanted sa Radyo launched a website entitled "Raffy Tulfo In Action", which features the cases featured in WSR and also cases in the spin-off segment Itimbre Mo kay Tulfo on Aksyon sa Tanghali. The show's video feed is simulcast over Radyo5's Facebook page and a copy of the day's show is also posted on the Raffy Tulfo In Action YouTube channel. The social media accounts contain video clips that feature how some of the cases were resolved as well as how the off-air conversations between the parties have gone.

Controversies
Jee Ick-Joo's abduction and killing
On October 21, 2016, a complainant named alias "Joy" was exulted to WSR that her employee South Korean businessman named Jee Ick-Joo was kidnapped by a policeman identified as SPO3 Richard "Ricky" Sta. Isabel, due to alleged involvement of illegal drugs on 18 October in Angeles, Pampanga, the maid ang Jee was sent to Quezon City and eventually separated at Camp Crame, and that night when they separated Jee was killed in nearby White House, the residence of the Philippine National Police Chief, incidentally Gen. Ronald dela Rosa was in Beijing accompanied by President Rodrigo Duterte on his State Visit.[1]
Political Involvement
Raffy Tulfo and his siblings are staunch supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte's policies. During the 2019 elections, he and Erwin acquired ACT-CIS Partylist from former Representative Samuel Pagdilao, Jr. and nominated Erwin's Chief of Staff Eric Go Yap, Raffy's wife Jocelyn Tulfo, and co-host Niña Taduran, while Ramon, Wanda, and Ben declined to participate. ACT-CIS took the top position with 2.6 million votes, earning the maximum of three seats at the 18th Congress. One of the campaign strategy is inserting ACT-CIS logo to the Raffy Tulfo in Action social media pages, as RTIA is only a blocktimer to the 5 Network.
