Plot summary
Albert Hockenberry arrives in Washington, D.C. with plans to work for his late father's army buddy Harold, owner of the run-down taxicab company D.C. Cab. Harold wants to improve the company which is full of dilapidated cabs and off-beat cab drivers. The cabbies see driving as a dead end job while they wait for better lives, until Albert inspires them to work as a team.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A valuable violin is found in one of the cabs earning Harold and his wife a $10,000 reward as owners of the cab. Harold wants to share the money with the drivers and let them invest in the cab company as partners. However, his wife Myrna picks up the reward money and tosses Harold and Albert's belongings out of the house. The cabbies are not happy about losing their share of the reward, and Albert decides to donate his own money to the cab company and convinces the drivers to stay and make something of the company and themselves.
The cabbies work together to rescue Albert and a diplomat's two children after they're kidnapped.
