Maggie Peyton wants to join her family's dynasty of race car drivers, but her father worries that she'll get hurt. As a college graduation gift, he buys Maggie a junked-out Volkswagen Beetle, which turns out to be Herbie, a car with a mind of its own. Soon Maggie and Herbie are racing against an arrogant racing champion and duking it out with monster trucks.
