smokey and the bandit II
Plot
Big Enos Burdett is attempting to be elected as Governor of Texas. Critical to his bid is to take responsibility of transporting a crate of unknown content from Miami to the Republican Party convention in Dallas. He enlists the help of Bandit and Cledus Snow to carry out the task.
The early parts of the film feature Cledus attempting to convince the Bandit to "do it one last time". Unfortunately, in the time since their previous challenge in the original Smokey and the Bandit film, the Bandit has split from his love-interest "Frog" (Sally Field) and become an alcoholic. The Bandit is said to be "the only man in the world to drink up a Trans Am". Cledus seeks the help of Frog to encourage the Bandit to sober up and regain his fitness, since Big Enos has raised the stakes of the game to $400,000. Frog abandons her second attempt at wedding Buford T. Justice's son Junior to help. She is initially persuaded more by the money than her love for Bandit.
The middle sections of the film feature a madcap race across the United States as the trio once again tries to outrun and outwit Justice and Junior. The team discovers that their cargo is in quarantine for three weeks, and they need to get it to Dallas in three days. When they break into the quarantine area to steal the crate, the mysterious cargo turns out to be an elephant who they named Charlotte after Snowman remarked that she reminded him of his Aunt Charlotte and even smelled like her, too. When Cledus opens the crate containing the elephant, Charlotte races out, nearly trampling Frog. The Bandit saves the day by doing a backflip onto the elephant's back and riding the elephant out of the quarantine shed. Noticing a nail was stuck in her foot, the Bandit removes it from there and the elephant takes a shine to Bandit. On their way to Dallas, they pick up a stranded Italian gynecologist played by Dom DeLuise, who rides in the truck with the elephant. Charlotte is later discovered to be pregnant, and eventually gives birth. The movie closes with Charlotte and her baby being towed away in circus-like chariots, and Buford still pursuing them in a bus.
