After several attempts to find a new job, Prof Chua had no choice but to resort to cab driving.

Ah Tau then started talking about Prof Chua's new career as a taxi driver, almost revealing it to his wife and mother-in-law who were not aware of this beforehand.

The movie shows the difficulties encountered by Prof Chua as he faces difficult customers including one that refused to pay their taxi fare.

While Ah Tau sets a date with Regina, (Gan Mei Yan) he is caught by a police officer (Chua En Lai) who gives a longwinded 'speech' about the perils of an illegal U-turn.

Regina feels that Ah Tau isn't worth the wait and stomps off into the streets, leading into a car accident.

While she is in hospital, she finds out that her vision was impaired and she is unable to fulfill her dream to be a fashion designer.

Prof Chua explains the situation Regina is in to Ah Tau, who is in the middle of his son's performance.

While he is on his way, Prof Chua tells Regina his story of being a cab driver, which then calms her down and changes her mind about the suicide.
