The fourth disc of Supercar has another 8 episodes, two from the first series and the rest from series two. There's plenty of globe trotting adventure in the stories this week.
The White Line August 6 1961
Some crooks from the US are in the UK robbing people by making their cars crash. Supercar is called in by Scotland Yard to help catch the crooks.
Supercar "Take One" July 1 1961
Dr Beaker gets a film camera to document his lab work. They get a film back that leads them to a spy ring.
The Runaway Train February 2 1962
A new atomic engine in a train is sabotaged by Masterspy and the train can't be slowed down. Except by Supercar and Mike Mercury.
Precious Cargo February 11 1962
A young French girl smuggles herself into the US by hiding in a box of wine bound for Professor Popkiss at Supercar base in Black Rock Nevada. They find her a nice home with Jimmy's Aunt.
Operation Superstork February 18 1962
That idiot Mitch sets Dr Beaker's balloon a drift with Dr Beaker, Jimmy and Mike aboard. The balloon hasn't been finished yet, it needs a valve for the gas bag to let it descend. Mike takes the only parachute and jumps out. He gets Supercar to rescue them. Dr Beaker wants to throw him out but Mitch makes him some pudding and he forgets to be mad. I would have tossed Mitch out ages ago.
Hi-Jack February 25 1962
Jimmy's brother Bill is training a pilot on the Boeing 707 plane when it's hijacked. Jimmy and Dr Beaker are on the plane for the training run. Mike to the rescue.
Calling Charlie Queen March 4 1962
Black Rock base gets a radio message from a man who's in trouble. They head over there and fins a mad scientist who has a shrinking formula. He makes Mitch, Dr Beaker and Mike tiny. Dr Beaker makes an antidote to get them back to normal. Occasionally it's good to have a science guy around.
Space For Mitch March 11 1962
Mitch steals the rocket that Bill was supposed to be testing. Now everyone has to rescue Mitch. I'd have let him fall into space. Good riddance.
A mixed bag of stories, some a bit better than others. After this many episodes I'm pretty much glad I didn't actually buy this. It's somewhat entertaining but I find myself bored with some of the repetitive material.
