Ist ja irre - Diese müden Taxifahrer (1963)
Charlie Hawkins ist zweimal verheiratet. Zum einen mit seiner Ehefrau Peggy, zum anderen aber mit seinem Taxiunternehmen Speedee Cabs. Dummerweise vernachlässigt der Workaholic seine richtige Frau und widmet sich in erster Linie seinem Unternehmen, wo sein Kumpel Ted Watson und mehrere andere Fahrer für ihn arbeiten. Als es Peggy zu bunt wird, beschließt sie mit Teds Frau Sally ein eigenes Unternehmen zu gründen: Glam Cabs. Nach kurzer Zeit hat Glam Cabs die Vormachtstellung errungen und die Fahrer von Speedee Cabs bekommen kaum mehr Aufträge. Glam Cabs Konzept ist so simpel wie erfolgreich: Man stellt nur attraktive Damen ein. Natürlich erzählen Peggy und Sally ihren Männern nicht davon, dass sie hinter der Konkurrenzfirma stecken und diverse Verwicklungen sind programmiert.
