In this game, an animal sanctuary has to be protected from being destroyed by the wicked E. Vile Corporation. The Corporation is planning to set up a toxic chemical factory in the sanctuary premises. As Louise Noble, the owner of the sanctuary, you have to drive Herbie to victory in the Cross States Rally and in the process race past Herman, the E. Vile Corporation vehicle. To emerge victorious and therefore prevent the animal sanctuary from destruction you have to race in very hostile terrain.
