An eccentric inventor restores a broken-down race car, which he and his children name Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They discover the car has magical properties, including the ability to fly and float. Their fanciful day trip in the car leads them to the far-off kingdom of Vulgaria, where a tyrannical Baron seeks to steal the magical vehicle for himself.
