Storyline
The cartoonish and childish character Pee Wee Herman goes on a big adventure for the first time ever when his beloved shiny new bicycle is stolen by his nemesis Francis Buxton, a fellow man-child and neighborhood rich "kid." And he sets off on an obsessive cross-country journey, determined to recover it. Pee-wee's awkward and childish attempts to be cool and mature. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Trivia
This is the first (and only time) Pee-Wee swears when he says "I don't want some other crappy bike". See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The date at the truck stop is established as being January 11, yet only a few days later a Day of the Dead (November 1) parade is seen taking place while Pee-Wee is in San Antonio. See more »Soundtracks
