Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The "Superbug" films of the 1960s and 1970s were blatant rip-offs of Disney's popular "Love Bug" pictures. The title character, an endearing little Volkswagen, not only had a mind of its own, but could also perform feats of strength far beyond those of ordinary autos. The first Superbug effort was produced on a shoestring and amassed a fortune. In Return of Superbug, the "hero" must contend with electronic land crabs, computer robots, and various other mechanical rivals. The reason? Superbug is part of an expedition searching for gold buried by the Nazis during WW II.
