41: Behind The Wheel (3.07)

1979; 48 minutes
Director of Photography Edward Rio Rotunno
Written by Rick Rosenthal; Produced by Robert Bennett Steinhauer;
Directed by Frank Orsatti

Acquiring a job as a taxi driver for the Majestic Cab Co, the struggling endeavour of a debt-ridden woman who appears to also have been the unfortunate recipient of a heart condition, David attracts the unwanted attention of the drug dealing gangsters who have loaned money to the company owner.

Aside from the aggravating comedy-slanted showings of Hulk, Behind The Wheel is an entertaining chapter in David's attempts to earn money whereby, on this occasion, he becomes embroiled in the problems of a small time business run by a charismatic woman.  The heart issue brings about a quirky little revelation and a neat little interlude includes David unexpectedly picking up McGee from the airport, having to quickly disguise himself before almost becoming identified when McGee stops off to interview some people who witnessed Hulk in action.
