Synopsis: Comedy / 1 m., 7 f. / Int. w. insets / This comedy is guaranteed to tickle funny bones from the outset when a tour guide can't take it any more and has a breakdown while her bus is caught in New York City traffic with a load of non English speaking tourists from South Yemen. Susan runs from the bus, gun in hand, and hails a cab. Her family, who hasn't heard from her in ten years, receives a cryptic telegram: "Dire straights. Must lie low. Driving in on Saturday." Susan arrives with the cheerfully loony cab driver for a reunion with her mother, sisters, neighbors and childhood chums. Before long, she realizes that life in the city was sane compared to being among these characters. She escapes again, heading for California with the anything goes cabby in a laughter filled finale.
