Max Yaeger is a Hollywood taxi driver who has fun interacting with
all kinds of exciting people: cops, horny starlets, strange
Christian Jews, aircraft executives, motion picture stars and
others. He is also an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in years and
will do nearly anything to protect his sobriety.
Max grew up in Westlake Crossing, Ohio, next door to a Negro
whorehouse where he saw a policeman commit murder and the terrified
boy runs for his life. In other adventures Max tells of his first
drink, his first sexual encounter, bootlegging in the Army, love,
marriage, and becoming addicted to alcohol. He hits skid row in New
York and eventually is faced with a decision - quit drinking or
die.
Alcoholics Anonymous comes to Max's rescue but after his friend
Marie dies and Blondy the Swede fires him from his cab driving job,
we stay at close range. Max is ready to fall off the wagon - about
to take his first drink in 19 years.
