[edit] Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Speedee Cabs is a great success, which means its workaholic owner Charlie (Sid James) starts neglecting Peggy (Hattie Jaques), his wife. Suddenly a fleet of rival taxis appears from nowhere and start pinching all the fares. The rivals are Glamcabs, and they have a secret weapon. All their drivers are very attractive women. It's open warfare and only one fleet can survive.
Spoilers end here.
