Plot
Angus Mactavish, an eternally down-on-his-luck but good-hearted cabbie, struggles to support his frazzled wife Mrs. Mactavish and their ten hungry children with the meager earnings from his rickety, antique taxi. As the thirteenth son, Angus clings to superstition, proudly displaying "13" on his badge and license plate, insisting against all odds that it’s his lucky number.
