Summary:

He's the same remarkable Love Bug, a few years older but just as rarin' to go! And "rarin" is the operative word for Herbie, world-famous VW Beetle. Retired from active racing, Herbie jumps, wheels, spins, with all the old zeal and gusto. When wily Alonzo Hawk, king of San Francisco's high-rise builders, determines to evict a little old lady from the cozy firehouse that she and Herbie live in, Herbie is outraged.

Climbing building, riding the cables of the Golden Gate bridge, putt-putting over the waters of the Bay, Herbie relentlessly leads Hawk and his rubber-stamp lawyers on a wild and wacky chase.
