The ensemble cast includes Cloris Leachman, Charles Martin Smith, Stephan W. Burns, John Vernon, Elyssa Davalos, Joaquin Garay III, and Harvey Korman. The plot revolves around the further adventures of Herbie, a sentient Volkswagen Beetle race car, as he befriends Paco, an orphan whose pickpocketing ways get him entangled with both Herbie's new owners and a trio of dangerous Incan gold thieves.
