The seventh film in the 'Carry On' series. Charlie (Sid James), the owner of taxi firm Speedee Taxis, finds he has some serious competition when rival company GlamCabs opens up nearby. With his company facing bankruptcy, Charlie suggests a merger only to call it off when he finds out his wife Peggy (Hattie Jacques), who started GlamCabs as a way to get back at him for years of neglect, is the new firm's mysterious owner. However, when Peggy is then kidnapped by bank robbers, Charlie is forced to put his issues to one side and rally the drivers at Speedee Taxis in a bid to rescue her and bring her home to safety.
