They follow the airship to Vulgaria, where the Baroness Bomburst has ordered the imprisonment of all children, whom she abhors. When they accidentally drive off a cliff, Chitty sprouts wings and propellers and begins to fly.
Caractacus, Truly, and the children see him being taken away by airship, and give chase. The Baron sends two comical spies ashore to capture the car for him, but they briefly capture Lord Scrumptious by accident, and then kidnap Grandpa Potts, mistaking him for the inventor of Chitty. In the story, the quartet and the car are stranded by high tide, but Chitty suddenly deploys huge flotation devices and they escape inland. While on the beach, Caractacus tells them a story about nasty Baron Bomburst, the tyrant ruler of fictional Vulgaria, who wants to steal Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and keep it all for himself. Potts rebuilds the car, which he nicknames Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the noises its engine makes, and he and the children, accompanied by Truly, go for a picnic on the beach, where Truly becomes very fond of the Potts family and vice versa. He eludes the wrath from his first (and only) customer named Cyril by joining a song-and-dance act, stealing the show and earning enough tips to pay for the car. Later that night, Caractacus takes his automatic hair-cutting machine to a carnival to raise money, but it goes haywire. He tries to sell the "Toot Sweet" to Truly's father Lord Scrumptious, a major confection manufacturer, but when the factory is overrun by dogs responding to the whistle, he is thrown out. While going over his bizarre inventions, many of which seem to be similar in function and form to modern appliances, such as vacuum cleaners and televisions, Caractacus discovers that one of the sweets he has invented can be played like a flute. Although Truly shows an interest in Caractacus's inventions, he feels affronted by her. When this backfires and almost sends him into the house, Truly douses the fire with a bucket of water, infuriating the inventor.
When they arrive at the Potts home, the children are greeted by their sheepdog Edison, and witness Caractacus with a giant firework strapped to his back, attempting to send himself flying into the air. Truly is cross, both at the children for off-roading her and for being truant from school, so she takes them home to report them for truancy. Coggins promises, and the excited children run into the road, causing a beautiful upper-class woman named Truly Scrumptious to swerve into a nearby duck pond. Coggins to promise not to sell the car until their inventor father Caractacus Potts can buy the car. Horrified by the thought, the Potts children beg Mr. Two children named Jeremy and Jemima Potts love playing in this car, but a junkman arrives to claim the car for 30 shillings so that he can melt down the car for scrap metal. During the 1909 British Grand Prix race, the car swerves off the track to avoid hitting a dog the girl picks up, and explodes into flames.ġ year later, in 1910, the car ends up in an old garage run by a man named Bill Coggins. In all of these races, one such car wins the races. Note: The reason why the THX Broadway trailer was used on Version #1 was because the home video version of the THX Cavalcade trailer was not yet finished at the time.The movie focuses on Grand Prix races from the period of 1907-1910 in England, France, and Germany.
