There are no “do-it-all” plugins available, since the improvement settings so strongly depend on the (quality of the) input material and desired results. The 8mm material was good and satisfactory in the past, but it will never get to the quality of nowadays technology, whatever we do.
(Have a look at the pretty good attempts here:

The basic material should be good so I hope that your mp4 scans are as good as they can be. Depending on the scanning firm and methodology (like scratch removal, color- and white balance corrections) there are a little or a lot of work left. With PD you can do reasonable cleaning and color corrections, and you will probable see that these corrections will differ from scene to scene.
In addition, you may also want to look at the glueing at the splices which tend to be darker, cut them out and redo them now with digital "clueing", and maybe even with new transitions. The removal of unsharp (unwanted) scenes will also improve the result. And maybe you want to reorder the scenes a bit too. It is all so much easier now.
And look at producing in HD quality where possible.
Also look at the recent discussion here:

It will take some time to get things right. But the audience will love it.
Have fun.
