Professor Larry Fischer returns with his children, Pete and Deb to their birthplace, New Zealand, after many years spent in England. But this proves to be the start of a family feud, starting with the scholar being arrested at the airport. And it's not only because of their beautiful vintage car, The Flying Kiwi. The family soon discovers that they have powerful enemies who want their house, land... and the Flying Kiwi itself.

Shady characters want to take possession of the Tiki.
