Pete's uncle is Jim Douglas from The Love Bug. The car Pete and Davie would be driving is sent ahead: the car, of course, was Herbie. Pete and Davie don't think much of itAmerica's favorite VW Beetle is back for a final fling in "Herbie Goes Bananas"! Set in lovely Mexico, friends Pete Stanchek and Davie Johns arrive to enter in a race. Pete's uncle is Jim Douglas from The Love Bug. The car Pete and Davie would be driving is sent ahead: the car, of course, was Herbie. Pete and Davie don't think much of it until he takes them for a fast spin! A little boy, Paco, tries to buddy up with these guys. He's actually a little pickpocket! Hey, the kid's got no family and no place to live. Can you blame him? He steals some photo negatives from two bad guys, Prindle and Quinn. The negatives reveal crucial information to the heist they're planning.

While Davie and Pete aren't looking, Paco climbs into Herbie's trunk and when the car is loaded onboard the ship, Paco comes along. The ship is under the command of surly Captain Blythe. Pete and Davie meet Aunt Louise and her niece, Melissa Drake. Pete falls in love with her and Louise offered to sponsor them in the race. Meanwhile, Paco was discovered and locked up. Luckily it was Herbie to the rescue. Paco called him Ocho (eight in Spanish). Why ocho? Because the number 53 is on Herbie's front and 5 and 3 equal 8. Everybody knows that. Anyway, Paco and Herbie literally crash Captain Blythe's party. He commanded that Herbie be thrown into the ocean, and he was. Paco was sad to see his friend go. The ship soon docks; Paco finds Herbie and has him brought on shore. Though full of water, weary and very rusty, Herbie started up and he and Paco took off. Paco turns Herbie into a taxi. But then, Prindle and Quinn arrive. Prindle told Paco to get him the negatives or he'd cut up Herbie.
Pete, Davie and Melissa decide to find Herbie so Melissa buys a clanking old bus and they head off. Paco's first passengers are Aunt Louise and Captain Blythe! The captain despises the ride while Louise loves it. They crash a bull flight and Louise and Captain depart. They hitch a ride with the friends on the bus which immediately breaks down. The bad guys snatch Paco and Herbie and the gang chase after him. They find Paco and shortly after, we see why the title of this movie is "Herbie Goes Bananas". They cover him in bananas to get past the guards. Herbie and Paco throw bananas at the bad guys and have them land in the hands of the police.… Expand
