Eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts restores a broken-down old race car that turns out to have magical powers — it can float and fly. With his two children and the beautiful Truly Scrumptious, Caractacus embarks on a fantastical adventure to the fictional country of Vulgaria, where the evil Baron Bomburst and his wife have banned all children. The family must outwit the villains, rescue the hidden children of Vulgaria, and find their way home.
