THE STORY:

Herbie surfaces in Mexico and is bought by a couple of American students who get entangled with a young pick-pocket who, in turn, gets entangled with a gang of crooks. Herbie ends up on a cruise to Brazil, is forced to drive the plank and swims to shore right under the nose of the street kid. Everyone tries to either chase or evade each other, and Herbie gets up to some crazy shenanigans for about 90 minutes until everyone lives happily ever after.

THE UPSHOT:

Awful. Why and how on earth did this ever get made? After wasting over 100 minutes of my life on this trash, I refuse to waste any more of it writing about the movie.
