Plot

The groom

In Milan, Baldassarre Boldrini, a shy and frustrated young man, is on the verge of marrying his cousin. On the way to the church for the ceremony, he's persuaded by the charming taxi driver, Filomena, to change his mind and run away with her.

A good deed

Pasquale Scognamillo, a taxi driver obsessed with female beauty, picks up a distressed nun, Sister Serena, on his way back from Pompeii. She tricks him into giving her money, revealing later in Naples that she is a professional scam artist.

Treasure hunt

Pomilio Barone, a naive and dreamy taxi driver, chauffeurs around Corinna, a wealthy and attractive drunk girl, in Turin. She involves him in a nocturnal treasure hunt. During the competition, he falls for her and mistakenly thinks the feeling is mutual. However, he's rudely dumped at the end of the evening, realizing he was only deceived.

The man in blue

In Rome, Mr. Gigi welcomes a strange customer with a bad toothache into his taxi. The next day, he discovers that this person is a dangerous murderer, putting his life in danger for having seen his face. Indeed, at the garage exit, he is kidnapped by the murderer, who now wants to eliminate the dangerous witness. Behind the wheel of his taxi, Mr. Gigi does everything to attract the attention of law enforcement, but in vain. Only the intervention of a gas station attendant, who picks up his distress message, saves the taxi driver's life just in time.
