Two Americans D.J. (Charles Martin Smith) and Pete (Stephen W. Burns) visit Puerto Vallarta but ones wallet is stolen by a smart kid named Paco (Joaquin Garay III). He is quite the wallet-nabber as he also pinches that of a man named Shepard (Richard Jaeckel) who is with a couple of other villains in Prindle (John Vernon) and Quinn (Alex Rocco). Within his wallet is extremely important film and they are on their way to an Incan treasure they are hoping to cash in on. The two Americans pick up Herbie and hope to use him in a Brazilian race they are going to. For Pete is the nephew of racer Jim Douglas who raced Herbie in the original and part 3. Herbie is more talkative now using his horn to communicate. So, you guessed it...she's all up to Herbie to stop the three villains and save the day.
In my opinion the weakest of the original series. The laughs are not quite as plentiful, but the jokes are on full bore. But, if yourself or your child is this far in the series their may be something going on that makes this fourth installment watchable for you. Herbie really does look like a rusted out heap through out this one. Also starring Cloris Leachman and Harvey Korman, who are in this picture generally for laughs.
