as Tom

Joe likes the ladies and gets to meet a variety of them in his job as a taxi driver. From dizzy young women to frustrated housewives, Joe fancies them all, and they take a fancy to Joe. If only things were smoother at home for the put-upon cabbie. With his nagging mother, thieving teenage brother, and the attentions of an overbearing girlfriend with ideas of marriage, Joe leaves the homestead and rents the spare room at his best mate’s flat. Meanwhile, he continues to find himself in an assortment of humorous sexual escapades until he accidentally becomes embroiled in a jewel heist that doesn’t quite go to plan.
