The story

Herbie falls in love at first sight with Giselle, Diane's sentient Lancia Scorpion.

Meanwhile, two diamond thieves, Max and Quincy, steal the famous Étoile de Joie (French for "Star of Joy") diamond and hide it in Herbie's fuel tank in order to avoid being captured by a swarm of searching policemen.

The pair even threaten Jim and Wheely at gunpoint, an encounter from which Herbie manages to escape by driving through a gypsy camp and a building site.
