Each mystery is current and unusual and involves the group stopping someone from wreaking certain havoc on the world. The gang were always driving in the Mystery Machine, returning from or going to a regular teenage function, when their van develops engine trouble or breaks down for a variety of reasons. Their (unintended) destination turns out to be suffering a monster problem, and the gang volunteers to investigate the case.

After proclaiming “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”, the villain was then taken away to prison, and the gang was allowed to continue on their way to their destination.
