A car so cool it has its own TV show, and a hero who trades favors like mob debts.
A district attorney is kidnapped by a criminal who then has a deranged doctor do something to him that leaves him with the mind of a child. His assistant seeks out a man who is only known by the car he drives, a Stingray. He helps people who have problems and in return, they owe him a favor that he will collect later.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a backdoor pilot for a series that lasted two seasons. The car got more fan mail than the cast.
The 'favor for a favor' premise was blatantly ripped off by The Equalizer, but with less cool cars and more British gravitas.
