Precious Cargo is the 28th produced, and broadcast, episode of the British television series Supercar.

Plot[]

Allez cuisine? It's Supercar meets Iron Chef (sort of), as Professor Popkiss' search for the perfect wine instead yields up a "secret ingredient" not even the Supercar team ever imagined!

Storyline[]

Both of the Popkiss siblings - Rudolph and Heidi - like to cook; and so, when Professor Popkiss wants some wine for his cooking, it's only natural that he should turn to his sister for a bit of learned advice. Sure enough, Heidi has just the thing: she recommends a French wine merchant named Monsieur Laval... M. Laval, it turns out, is also the guardian of a French girl named Zizi, who longs to escape his unkind and hard ways - and dreams of Jimmy and Supercar...

As requested, M. Laval sends the crate of wine to America. But when it arrives at the Black Rock facility, and is opened up - to everyone's utter astonishment - an additional "something" decidedly not on the manifest, is revealed: it's Zizi, and she's stowed away!
