Set in 'Electronic City', its protagonist is a superhero far from the 'classic' hero profile: a short, chubby and not-powered Spanish man[1] ('aspañol' as is called in the series). He risks his life time and again to save the city, using gadgets picked up at the Electronicaweb store.
The story's usual plot proceeds as follows: A monster or a criminal attacks the city, Cálico tries to stop it and fails, goes to Electronicaweb, gets a new gadget, and saves the day. Some "bloopers" are displayed during the credits at the end of the episode.
Even though Cálico is the main character, many side series have run with it, featuring many characters from the original series.
On June 4, 2009, Nikodemo Animation was shut down completely by its owners due to bankruptcy[citation needed], which meant the cancellation of all in-progress Cálico Electrónico series' related content, including, but not limited to, Rumbarola and animation series.
