action
The cheerful Pee-Wee is the proud owner of a special red bicycle. His neighbor Francis Buxton envies him and wants to buy it from him. But Pee-Wee refuses that his bike is not for sale. One day, while on a shopping spree, during which he also met Dottie, who was in love with him, his bike was stolen from him, despite being chained with an over-long metal chain. Pee-Wee immediately goes on an adventurous search for his stolen treasure.
He suspects Francis, whom he visits at home, but Francis denies the allegations. When Pee-Wee offered a $ 10,000 reward on the radio for finding his bike, Francis got too hot and asked someone to get rid of the stolen bike. Out of desperation, Pee-Wee seeks advice from a fortune teller, who sends him to the distant Alamo . In the absence of a bicycle , Pee-Wee hitchhikes and is taken by the escaped convict Mickey, whom he smuggles through a police checkpoint. Later, Pee-Wee is abandoned and becomes acquainted with the sinister spirit of the trucker Large Marge. When he arrives at a trucker bar, he befriends the bartender Simone, whereupon he gets into trouble with her jealous admirer. Pee-Wee manages to escape by jumping on a moving train and ends up in the Alamo, where it turns out that his bike is not there.
After another clash with Simone's admirer and an involuntary rodeo ride on a bull, Pee-Wee ends up at a biker bar. As a result of a chain reaction, he accidentally knocks over all the motorcycles of the biker gang members present. He is threatened with evil, but with an impressive dance performance he can appease the bikers again and makes them friends. They give him a motorcycle, with which he immediately crashes, so that he has to be hospitalized. Plagued by nightmares, Pee-Wee wakes up there and recognizes his beloved bike on television, which is in the Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood . He goes there immediately.
When he arrives at the studios, disguised as a nun, he takes back his beloved vehicle and quickly runs away. A wild chase begins, in the course of which he meets a pink and a blue elephant, successfully evades the clutches of a bicycle policeman, hangs a horde of security mobiles with a smoke machine built into his special bicycle and other tricks, despite ongoing recordings drives several sets (including Godzilla ), escapes a boat on wheels with the help of an oil cannon and finally flies over a fence with a rocket drive and is able to escape.
Later, Pee-Wee rescues the animals in a pet shop from a fire and thus escapes - on the condition that a film can be made about his story - the punishment for the damage done in the studios. He sees the film together with his bike and Dottie and all those he met on his journey, the drive- in.
Reviews
For the lexicon of international films , Pee-Wee's crazy adventure was an “unspeakably silly joke”, the film was “only funny in a few ideas” and “largely annoying”.
filmzentrale.com published a review by Rajko Burchardt: “The fact that Burton leads the film to its own origins is a chutzpah of inimitably biting clout: the director's first cinema film is first of all fictitious eccentricities and lively childhood, then unrestrainedly deconstructivist To fall into anarchy. "
