The starring character is David Merriwether, a righteous crimefighter during the Cold War. He is dressed in a superhero costume but without any special powers. He and his sidekick, a boy named Kit, drives a supersonic Cat Jet in their quest to battle spies, robots, and aliens. They frequently have to rescue Catman's fiancée Terri West and her father Doctor Martin West.
