Supercar tells the story of a wonderful new vehicle, the 'super-car' of the future, and the adventures which befell it and the people who used it. The basic formula for the series was the same as in many others; heroes thwarting the villains. The heroes in this series were five characters who lived and worked in an isolated laboratory set deep in the heart of the Nevada desert at Black Rock - the home base of the Supercar! Two scientists (Professor Popkiss and Doctor Beaker), a test pilot (Mike Mercury), a small 'orphaned' boy (Jimmy Gibson) and his mischievous pet monkey called Mitch. It was never really made clear who the group worked for, or what they and their laboratory were doing in the desert.
