A young man travels to Mexico with a friend to collect a car he has inherited. He intends to enter it in a car race in Brazil. In Mexico he has his wallet picked by a kid. He then gets mixed-up with a trio of bad guys, one of whom also has his wallet picked by the same kid. Those bad guys are planning to steal some relics from an ancient archeological site, and their picked wallet contains a microfilm which (as I gathered) has a map to that site. The bad guys chase the kid throughout Central and South America. The young man and his friend, plus some assorted characters from the South America-bound ship all get mixed up in that chase. Oh, and before I forget: the car, who has a personality and self-command powers, also follows them.
This is possibly the weakest of the Herbie films, excepting the 2005 movie which I haven't seen. It is not a complete loss, however: at times the film takes the franchise's premise to the surreal realm, e.g., in the bullfighting sequence. The film also has some nice landscapes of Mexico.
