There they meet a boy named Paco who steals their wallet.
At the same time, crook Sheppard and Inca expert Prindle go in search of an unknown Inca treasure. They too are victims of the young pickpocket; on his flight from the two, Paco hides in Herbie. Since Paco stole a film from the two of them with photos of the place where the treasure was found, they both go in search of the boy.

In Panama Paco finds Herbie, rusted by the sea water. The men who help Paco pull Herbie out of the water try to steal the beetle; However, Herbie and Paco are able to flee. A little later, Shepard and Prindle track down the boy. It turns out that Paco accidentally gave the film with the photos to Pete and Davy. Shepard and Prindle demand the film back from Paco; otherwise they would destroy Herbie. Paco steals Pete and Davy's wallet again and meets Aunt Louise and Captain Blythe on his escape.

Reviews
"Fourth part of the series about the 'great Beetle', only moderately staged and without any special ideas. Only the small vehicle still has a lot to offer. "
