Summary:
Eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, his two children and his beautiful lady friend, Truly Scrumptious go on a picnic at the beach where they are soon whisked into a magical world of pirates, castles and a flying car called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In the adventure that ensues, they journey to Vulgaria and encounter the evil Baron Comburst and his child-hating wife, who kidnaps Potts' children and steals the magic car. With the aid of the village toymaker, Potts plans an elaborate scheme to rescue the kidnapped children and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from the castle.
