In this one, Tim McGuerin (Bendix) and Eddie Corbett (Sawyer) recall in flashback how they built up their thriving taxi business. It so happened that Tim was quite a baseball pitcher, and it was this skill that enabled him to collect a huge reward by subduing racketeer Glorio (Sheldon Leonard) with a well-aimed monkey wrench (this particular gag was a favorite of producer Hal Roach, who used variations in such previous films as Max Davidson's Pass the Gravy and Laurel & Hardy's Swiss Miss). Grace Bradley is extremely decorative as the burlesque queen who becomes Mrs. McGuerin. Like most of Hal Roach's "Streamliners", Taxi Mister runs a brisk 45 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
