Naive but good-natured young man Albert Hockenberry (Baldwin) arrives in Washington, D.C., with plans to work for his late father’s army buddy Harold (Gail), owner of the run-down District of Columbia Cab company. Aware of the sorry state of his business and the growing competition from the popular Emerald Cab Company, Harold wants to clean it up but does not have the financial means to do so. Complicating matters is the motley group of cab drivers that he has working for him. They all see driving as a dead-end job while they wait for better lives until Albert inspires them to work as a team.
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 greedy 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, so Albert decides to donate $6,063 of his own money to the cab company and convinces the drivers to stay and make something of the company and themselves. The cabbies completely overhaul the entire business, and the revitalized company soon supplants Emerald Cab as the most popular in the city.
Later on, the cabbies work together to rescue Albert and a diplomat’s two children after they’re kidnapped. The film ends with a parade in D.C. Cab’s honor followed by a post-credits scene with a shabby-looking dressed man climbing into the back of Tyrone’s taxicab and claiming to be the Angel of Death and requesting Tyrone to take him to Hell to which he is then asked by Tyrone “Got any luggage?”
